The 18th Annual Mr. Linganore contest “It’s a Royal Affair” will be on March 4 at 7:00 p.m. Lancer Media is covering each of the contestants leading up to the big day.

Jacob Frey is going to be portraying Prince Adam from Beauty and the Beast. He will be escorted by Ines Garofolo.

So far,  Frey’s favorite part of the competition has been practicing the waltz. “I like to see everyone try and learn it together,” said Frey.

To prepare for the competition, Frey has been practicing his routine for the talent part. He has been getting help from willing aunts and friends. He is related to former contestants and knows what to expect. Frey is most excited for this part of the competition.

Another part of the Mr. Linganore competition is UNO’s Night where contestants are trying to raise money for the Academic Awards Program. Contestants tried to raise as much money as they can for the charity, as it is then turned into points. Frey had 40 people come out in his favor and had a fantastic night.

Frey is a part of Linganore’s football team and plays right guard. In the 2016 season, Frey had an average of two tackles per game and at least one sack per game.

Frey would like to study at a four-year institution.
