Nesdale awarded Co-Athlete of The Month for October

One of the aspects of Bridgton Academy that is celebrated is the transformation of our young men. Colin's athletic transformation shone bright during the month of October. Though it did not start well as the Wolverines were upended on Parent's Weekend, they bounced back and proved to be a formidable opponent. For the rest of the month, they were undefeated with wins againsts UNH, BU, and UMaine. The pinnacle was a 9-6 win over a highly touted Hill Academy from Ontario, Canada. Colin led the way as the last line of defense and proved himself worthy over and over again. His work off the field has been remarkable as well. For all his endeavors, Colin is awarded C0-Athlete of The Month for October. You can read about it here:
