The Panthers celebrate graduating senior Mitchell Parkman at Senior Night this week. Thetford Academy's varsity boys played their last home game of the regular season on Wednesday night. Before the game, the Panthers celebrated their lone senior Mitchell Parkman, who has been an important part of the team's successful season. The boys' 73-39 win vs. U-32 adds to their season record of 17-2 - and keeps their top seeded placement in Division III.
