Thank you to all who have reached out in love and support of our team, our students, our city, and our State. This is unreal. For those who are from here, Maine is the biggest small town, and everyone knows everyone. This may be in one area, but all Mainers are feeling it. ๐Ÿ’”

Relationships with players turn into wedding invites, baby showers, once a year hug, social media followers, texting buddies and so on. Then there's some that become friends who find a special place in your life. Gleason, you were one of those. Thx for the laughs #fullsendonly
