TA boys fall just short of first Gold Ball, losing to Brunswick in Class A state final

KENNEBUNK—The best season in Thornton Academy boys' soccer annals didn't have the desired ending Saturday at Memorial Field, on the campus of Kennebunk High School.

The Golden Trojans did plenty of things right in their state game showdown against Brunswick, but couldn't get the ball in the net and two late Dragons' goals ultimately sent them home with the runner-up trophy.

But what a ride it was.
