Saco Mayor Jodi MacPhail and the City Council recognized the Thornton Academy Boys Lacrosse team, the Maine Class A Champions, during last week’s meeting.
“I, along with the members of the City Council, would like to congratulate these players and their coaches for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to the sport,” said Mayor MacPhail. “And the community is very, very proud of you.”
The Trojan’s 8-6 victory came over a heavily favored Falmouth team, ending the Navigators’ 28-game winning streak.
In addition to reading the names of all players and coaches, Mayor MacPhail acknowledged Jack DeLeo and Grady Hersey, who were named to the Varsity Maine All-State team, and Ryan Hersey, who was honored as Coach of the Year.
The win gave Thornton its third Class A lacrosse championship, joining the 2018 and 2019 teams, which also beat Falmouth in the title games.
