C o a c h : D a n C a m p b e l l ( f i r s t year, returning after sabbatical)Last year: Boys, third in KVAC, fifth in Class A; Girls, seventh in KVAC, 14th in Class A.Returning athletes: Boys: Senior — Justin LeClair; Juniors — Lucas Bourget, Zach Tannenbaum, Nate Mulligan; Sophomore — Izaac White. Girls: Seniors — Audrey Bennett, Hayley Barton; Junior — Crystal LabonteKey losses : Boys: Faisa l Noor, Hussein Mohamed; Girls: Abby Hart, Melissa Brown.Top newcomers : Boys : Senior — Matt Ya r nev ich; Juniors — Adam Robinson, Midhun Gelder; Sophomore — Tony Gardner. Girls: Senior — Abby Dunn; Junior — Katie Laf lamme; Sophomore — Haley Laflamme.Outlook: Numbers have improved significantly for EL, with 16 boys

and nine girls out for the team. Those are the most runners veteran coach Campbell can recall in about eight years. LeClair and Bourget have big sneakers to fill after the graduation of Noor and Mohamed. Likewise, Bennett hopes to step up after emerging as the girls’ No. 2 runner last year.C o a c h’s c om me nt : “For t h e boy s, e spe c ia l l y, per for m i ng well in the KVAC and state meets should be ver y doable for us.” – Coach Dan Campbell

Coach: Craig Latuscha (second year)Last year’s record: 5-8-1Returning players : Seniors — MaryKate Masters (MF), Jaclyn Masters (SK ), Em i ly Ha r t nett (SK), Kelly Philbrook (FB), Melissa Paione (FB), Phoebe Chamberlin (FB); Juniors — Kate Sawyer (SK), Allaire Lever (MF), Abby Bellefleur (MF), Lexi Clavet (SK); Sophomores — Kor y Norcross (SK ), Taylor Landry (G).Key losses: Emily Grund (MF), Frankie Lally (SW)Promising newcomers: Senior — Liz Stauffer (FB); Juniors — Avery

Chisholm (FB), Ayumi Ranucci (SK); Freshmen — Hannah Smith (SW), Molly Murray (G), Makayla Norcross (MF).Outlook: Grund was an all-star player, while Lally was an al l-conference defender. Their talent’s will be tough to replace. EL still has

some skill and experience up front. That should give the Red Eddies some scoring punch. Philbrook and Chamberlin will lead the defense. EL hopes to improve on last year and challenge for a tourney spot in Eastern Class A.Coach’s comment: ”We look to

continue building as they are in their second year of a rebuilding process. With one of the toughest schedule in the league, things will be very interesting. With hard work, dedication and discipline, we hope to make a push for the playoffs this season.” – Coach Craig Latuscha

Coach: Chris Williamson (f irst year)Last year’s record: 5-5Returning players: Travis Landry, Nate C orl i s s , Nate P u sh a rd, Brandon Dubuc.Key losses: Cody Russell, Brian Bickford.Promising newcomers : Cooper Easter, Ryan Rossignol, Mickey Law rence, Brian Crane, Corey Henderson, Kyle Karkos. Outlook: With 15 golfers out for the

team and a good group of talent at the top, Edward Little should improve on its .500 record from a year ago. The returners are all strong and the newcomers are showing good promise for first-year coach Williamson. No one has

emerged yet as the clear No. 1, but the Eddies will be deep and able to compete in every match.Coach’s com ment : ”T here i s competition for the top six spots ever y week, so it should make practice even more important.”– Coach Chris Williamson

Coach: Dave Sterling (second year)Last year’s record: 5-4, lost in Eastern A quarterfinalsReturning players: Seniors — Luke Farrago (FB/LB), Dylan Deconzo (LB/TB), Alphonso Belnavis (CB/WR), Darnell Hairston (DE/LB/TB), Josh Delong (QB).Key losses: Teven Colon (TB), Cory Spruill (NT/FB), Avery Jackson (T/DT), Ben Bellevue (G/DE), Cody Meserve (C/DT), Zach Earle (T/DT), Zach Leblond (TE/SS).Promising newcomers: Seniors — Tony Wysocki (G/NG), Anfernee

EL will miss the explosive Colon, who starred at both quarterback and tailback in his career, but Hairston h a s s i m i l a r g a m e - b r e a k i n g

potential. Crenshaw (6-foot-3, 315 pounds), Ales Sterling (245) and Lachapelle (245) give the Eddies some size in the trenches they’ve lacked in the past. With only four teams making the PTC ’A’ playoffs this year, September g a me s a g a i n s t L a w r e nc e, Bangor and Brunswick will have a huge say in whether or not the Eddies return to the postseason.Coach’s comment: “With this core of guys, our expectations are pretty high, but it’s one at a time.” – Coach Dave Sterling

Coach: Dave Morin (32nd year)Last year’s record: 5-8-1Returning players: Seniors — Nate Blais (MF), Ben Bowles (G), Jeremy Hamm (G), Jared Pelletier (S), Ian Therriault (MF), Adam Timberlake (MF); Junior — Zack Tannenbaum (MF).Key losses: Jon Delorme (FB), Cam Ivers (FB), James Jackson (FB), Tim Mains (F), Taka Ranucci (SK), Ken Romero (FB), Justin Forbes (MF).Promising newcomers: Seniors — Nigel Bowles (MF), Richard Grondin (FB), Ethan Polisky (FB), Taylor Ra m ich (FB), Bra ndon

Cote (MF), Yusuf Mohamed (MF), Abdiwali Yonis (MF); Juniors — Adam Lebrun (FB), Gule Mohamed (MF), Corey Morin (FB), Brandon Polisky (FB), Navid Rohani (SK); Sophomores — Mike Hammond

(MF), Brady Pleau (S).Outlook: The Red Eddies lost their entire starting defense and their top scorer. There’s only a small group of returning starters. Morin will try to shore up his defense and

have his team working hard to stay competitive as EL aims for a return to the tournament.Coach’s com ment : “We’l l be the underdog most of the time. Hopef u l ly t his tea m w i l l r ise

to the challenge through hard work, learning to handle difficult situations and striving to improve e v e r y g a m e a n d p r a c t i c e .” – Coach Dave Morin

Coach: Greg Perkins (22nd year)Last year’s record: 9-4-2 (3rd in Eastern A)Returning players : Seniors — Tor i Cout u re (MF), Cou r t ney Pel let ier (F), Daniel le Demers (B), Madison Williamson (MF), Kayla Nadeau (B), Jordan Tate (F), Gabby Laperriere (MF); Juniors — Amanda Wil l iams (G), Sam Goulette (B), Hannah Johnston (F), Kaelena Perron (F).Key losses : Emily Ranucci, Bri

Robbins, Miranda Martin, Eileen McKinney, Ashley Butler, Marie Dufresne-Dixon, Maranda Parent.Promising newcomers : Senior — Renee Cote; Juniors — Taylor Berube (F), Sophie Harris (MF), Kaylee Caron (MF); Sophomore — Brit Williams.Outlook: It never seems to matter how much the Eddies lose, they always find a way to stay in the upper-middle part of the K VAC. This group lost some talent, but is st i l l relatively seasoned and should again be looking at a home

game in the f irst round of the playoffs as a goal.

Coach’s comment: ”We plan on being competitive. The players are working hard in practice and

are enthusiastic about the coming season.” – Coach Greg Perkins

Coach: Mike McGraw (29th year)Last year’s record: 12-3, lost in Eastern A quarterfinalsReturning players: Seniors — Eric Michaud (FB), Luke Olehowski (FB), Benji Abdisalan Saban (SK), I bra h i m Achek h ( F B ), Da h i r Muktar (MF), Drew Olehowski (FB), Jake Bergeron (FB); Juniors — Ben Chicoine (MF), Yusuf Yama (MF); Sophomore — Yusuf Yama (MF).Key losses: Ali Hersi (MF), Caleb Leino (F), Curtis Robinson (MF),

Jon McDonough (MF), Showbow Saban (F), Joe Sullivan (FB), Tyler Hartman (MF/FB), Eric Morin (MF), Scott Ouellette (G) Eric Hall (MF), Ryan Lemelin (FB).Promising newcomers: Seniors — Chris Johnson (SK/FB), Thomas Mufolo (FB), Dennis Graef (MF/SK); Juniors — Spencer Simineau (FB), Doud Idow (FB), Ga ra n Saban (MF), Mohamed Ali (SK), Kusow Aden (MF), Eric Soucy (G); Sophomore — Abdibaari Hersi (MF).O u t l o o k : T h e B l u e D e v i l s g raduated a wea lt h of ta lent

from last fall’s K VAC title team, including Hersi and Saban, both all-state players. There’s still some depth and skill here, but it will take

time for this group to gain varsity experience and develop as a team.Coach’s comment: “We return a good and competitive team, but

lack varsity match experience. We’ll do well if we play consistently and have that blend of chemistry and hard work.” – Coach Mike McGraw

Coach: Butch Dow (second year)Last year’s record: 2-12Returning players : Seniors — Kenzi Masselli (G), Kayla Hamel (MF), Shae Godbout (SW), Kenzie Sullivan (MF); Juniors — Mariah Carrier (ST), Tori Denis (MF); Sophomore — Maegan Mathon (F).Key losses: Elizabeth Dixon (FB), Britney Mart in (MF), Jessican Bowen (FB), Liz Aguilar (MF),

Shelby Dobranksy (MF).Outlook: The Blue Devils have most of their team back. Hamel, D en i s a nd Su l l i v a n a r e t he playmakers in the midfield while Masselli was first in the state in saves last year. Dow is excited about the progress this group has shown and thinks this squad has playoff potential.Coach’s comment: “It is the best I’ve seen this team play in four years. With the talent we’ve got and the chemistry we have, we

could conceivably make it to the quarterfinals.” – Coach Butch Dow

Lewistonpage 5 ‰

Coach: Bob Blanchette (fifth year)Last year’s record: 7-3Returning players : Seniors — Brandon Tiner, Nick Gilbert, Alex Gregoire; Juniors — Cam Marquis, Tyler Houle, Evan Bourassa.Key losses : Scott Gagne, Evan Carrier, Jesse Leeman.Promising newcomers: Senior — Matt Myrick.Outlook: The Blue Devils lost some bona fide talent at the top of the lineup, but the team is deep enough to withstand that loss. The team

this year is also decently deep, and should be a factor in the KVAC all season.Coach’s comment: ”Our goal is to shoot between 160 and 170 for our top four at every match. If we can do that, we should win 70 or 80 percent of our matches.”– Coach Bob Blanchette

www.sunjournal.com

Coach: T.J. Niles (first year)Last year: Boys, fourth in KVAC, seventh in state; Girls, ninth in KVAC.Returning athletes: Boys: Seniors

— Kevin Lavertu, Matt Chouinard; Junior — Mohamed Barre. Girls: Senior — Nicole Court-Menendez; Junior — Emily Craft; Sophomore — Faith Shaw.Key losses: Boys: Hussein Ibrahim, Tanner Adams, Kyle Clabby, Russ Caliguiri; Girls: Ali Butler.Promising newcomers : Boys : Sophomore — Mohamed Mohamed. Girls: Sophomore — Mana Abdi; Freshman — Taylor True.

Outlook: With Lavertu and Barre returning from last year with the addition of Mohamed, the Blue Devil boys have a strong top three and expect to improve upon last year. The girls have only seven runners, so stay ing hea lthy is crucial. But the addition of Abdi and True enhances their hopes of qualifying for states.Coach’s comment: “We will be heavily relying on the back half

of the varsity team to step up and test their limits in races a n d w o r k o u t s .” – Coach T.J. Niles

Coach: Bre Allard (first year)Last year’s record: 3-11Retur ning players : Sen ior — Ma r i s s a Z a non i ( F ) ; Ju n ior s — Jenny Chouinard (F), Kelsey Dumond (MF), Allison Osgood (D), Ravon Palmer (G), Sadie Poulin (MF), Natalie Rousseau (F).Key losses: Kierstyn Barnies, Katie Foss, Allison Lafreniere, Laylynn Levasseur, Sara Marden, Kirsten McCombs, Saba Naji, Arika Olsen, Katie Tirabassi.

Promising newcomers: Senior — Linsey House (D); Junior — Sam Clark (D); Sophomores — Abby Loisel (F), Laurianne Murphy (F), Olivia Norton (MF), Desirae Roy (F); Kaylyn Sampson (MF), Jenessa Talarico (F), Brie Wilson (MF); Freshmen — Margaruette Seguin (D), Kyla Sturtevant (F).Outlook: With Morse moving to Class B this season, Lewiston is back at the bottom of the pack based on last year’s finish, but the Devils do not appear discouraged about it. They know they have

some tough games ahead of them, but they’re ready to fight and hope to prove to the conference that they’re a new team. A very young group bodes well for the future.W it h a new head coach at the helm, L e w i s t o n’s f i e l d h o c k e y p r o g r a m is going to see a lot of changes this s e a s o n . C o a c h Allard plans to push

the athletes harder and expects more commitment on their behalf. Tu r n i ng over a new lea f t h is

season, the team’s motto is “No Excuses.”

Coach: Bill County (12th year)Last year’s record: 8-3, lost in Eastern Class A championshipReturning players : Seniors — Jef f Turcotte (HB/LB/DE), Joe McKinnon (FB/CB), Matt Therrien (HB/CB), Chris Madden (QB), Ca leb Johnson ( W R/FS), Rudy Pandora (T/DT), David Demers (T), Leo Gaghan (G/DT), Michael Nazaroff (G/LB), Nick Ross (NG); Juniors — Steven Patrie (TE/LB/DE), Zach Phelan (LB).

T hei r chances of taking that elusive final step get a huge boost from eight returning starters on both

sides of the ball. Lewiston’s Wing-T back f ield is loaded with the steady Madden, the grinding McKinnon, the shifty Therrien and t he explosive Turcotte. Pandora might be the league’s best two-way tackle. The secondar y of Therrien, McKinnon and Caleb Johnson r e t u r n s i nt a c t . I f t he r e’s a cou nter poi nt to a l l t hat optimism, it’s that Lewiston’s toug hest ga mes — Ba ngor, Lawrence, Brunswick and EL — are on the road.

Coach’s comment: “The advantage of hav ing so ma ny k ids back from the previous year is that the

learning curve is a lot straighter.” — Coach Bill County

Promising newcomers: N/AOutlook: Thin on numbers, the Rebels will field the same team they did last year. A few of the golfers have their sights set on individual states, while the team is hopeful to make it in as a unit, as well.

(MF); Freshman — Drew Parsons (MF).Outlook: The Cougars lost two all-conference players in Stinchfield and Neal, but have Hall back in the midfield. Mt. Blue has enough talent back that the club is aiming for another playoff spot.Coach’s comment: “This year’s team is working hard and, at times, have shown signs that they will be competitive. The guys realize that in order to be successful they need to work hard and play solid team defense. The team is definitely e xc ite d t hat t he y c a n move

Coach: Gary Parlin (19th year)Last year’s record: 7-3, lost in Eastern A semifinalsReturning players: Seniors — Eric Berry (RB/CB), Cam Sennick (WR/CB), Izaiha Tracy (RB/FS), Nick Searles (DT), Chris Malone (LB), Shawn Keach (TE/DE/K/P), Chris Cautillo (LB); Juniors — Jordan Whitney (QB/S), Bradley Jackson (LB).Key losses: A.J.

formidable addition to Eastern B. They return just four starters on offense, all at the skill positions. But the offensive line was a key unit on the JV team, which lost just one game last year. Whitney, in his second year, has plenty of weapons at his disposal. Sennick is one of the top big-play threats in the conference. Tracy and Berry both spent time as the No. 1 running back last year. The defense is more seasoned and has plenty of play-makers in the secondary.

Coach’s comment : “We have a l it t le bit more ex per ience on defense. A lmost ever yone

a t e v e r y p o s i t i on w a s ou t t h e r e p l a y i n g l a s t y e a r .” — Coach Gary Parlin

Coach: Fred Conlogue (third year)Last year’s record: 7-5-3, lost in Eastern A quarterfinalReturning players : Seniors — Ma ken z ie Hobbs (FB), Em i ly Ramsey (MF), Rachel Karno (MF), Marina West (F); Juniors — Carolyn Poliquin (FB), Kristen Brown (FB), Cherokee Clements (F), Mackenzie Conlogue (F), Chelsea Newhall

(MF), Makenzie Thompson (MF), Lauren St. Laurent (FB), Katie Lewis (MF), Jaycee Mullen (FB), Zy ra h Giust ra (MF), Br ia n na Gel inas (FB), Gabby Foy (G); Sophomore — Miranda Nicely (MF).Key losses: Hannah Allen (MF), Abby Flanagan (FB), Allison Brown (G), Avonlee Dwight (MF), Marlie Mochamer (F).Promising newcomers: Junior — Shireen Luick (FB); Sophomores — Kianna Thompson (MF), Emma Enoch (MF), Thia Bridges (G), Savannah Swain (MF).Outlook: The Cougars made a significant step last year with a

winning season and playoff berth. Now Mt. Blue hopes to build on that. The squad lost veteran talent, including Mochamer, an all-state forward. The Cougars are still a

good young squad on the rise with some playoff seasoning already under their belts.

Coach’s comment: “We are hungry as a group to take the next step.” – Coach Fred Conlogue

Coach: Dan Crooker (second year)Returning players: Boys: Seniors — Ada m Ma ha r, Ben L e w i s, Casey Kellner, Matthew Keane; Sophomore — Josef Holt-AndrewsKey losses: Girls: Morgan Lee.Promising newcomers : Boys : Sophomore — Bronson Dea n; Freshman — Greg Wheeler; Girls:

Freshman — Gabi Stone.Overview: The Rebels f inished third in the MVC last year and should contend again with all of their runners returning. Holt-Andrews finished third in Class C as a freshman and should solidify his place among the top runners in the state. Lewis, whose junior ca mpa ig n was h indered by a broken foot, and Mahar are coming off strong track seasons and should

score well. Dean excelled in the mile in track as a freshman and adds more depth.Coach’s comment: “I look for the team to step up to the challenge of bei ng a top M VC te a m .” – Coach Dan Crooker

Coach: Kelley Cullenberg (19th year)Last year: Boys, second in KVAC, sixth in Class A; Girls, third in KVAC, 10th in Class AReturning athletes: Boys: Seniors — Alex Chandler, Jackie Chen, Jona h Jones; Juniors — Corey Iba, Sully Jackson, Justin Tracy;

Sophomore — Dust in Staples. Girls: Seniors — Addie Cullenberg, Louisa Stancioff, Molly Fissette, Emily Ga rdner, Ju l ia Luchini, Courtney Qi; Juniors — Maryam Norton; Sophomores — Sa ra h Wade, Anya Nordstrom.Key losses: Boys: Jaron Jones, Brody Hines, Kjel l Nordstrom; Girls : Gwen Beacham, Emily Reed, Eliza Richard.Promising newcomers : Boys : Sophomores — Josh Horne, Noah LePage, Tim Meser v ier, A l len Taylor; Freshmen — Rickie Chen, Brendan Hickey, Dan Lesko. Girls:

Seniors — A lexa iya Back ma n, Louise Legein, Emily Roberts ; Ju n ior — D e a n n a R ic h a rd s ; Sophomores — Macee Qi, Casey Rogers ; Fresh men — Chenoa Jackson, Katherine Gunther.Outlook: The boys looked to be a contender for the KVAC title, but a possible season-ending injury to Jones has knocked dow n those expectat ions a notch. Tracy and Jackson were top-20 finishers at last year’s conference meet and could help fill that void. Beacham’s graduation left a void for the

girls, but second and third runners Cullenberg and Stancioff return.Coach’s comment: “If we have Jonah Jones healthy, we couild conceivably v ie for t he K VAC

and regional (boys’) t it les. But right now that is a big question.” – Coach Kelley Cullenberg

Coach: Jeannine Paradis (ninth year)Last year’s record: 2-12Returning players : Seniors — Meg ha n Bu l len ( F ), Cor i n ne Dingley (B), Heather Farrington (MF), Nichole Tracy (B), Taylor Harris (B), Casey Gaboury (G); Juniors — Alyssa Williams (MF), Kayla Newbill (MF); Sophomores — Sarita Crandall (F/M), Kati Bessey (F), Mikayla Oswald (F).Key losses: Jillian Perron, Elizabeth LeClair.

P r o m i s i n g n e w c o m e r s : Sophomores — Courtney Austin (B), Rileigh Blanchet (G), Krista McLatchey (F), Shula Yeaton (B), Keri Harnden (B); Freshmen — V i c t o r i a Ne w b i l l (MF), Erynn Hiscock (MF).O ut l o ok : I f e v e r t h e r e w a s a candidate for turn-around of the year, the Cougars are that c a n d i d a t e . O n l y t w o p l a y e r s a r e gone from a tough

year, and there is a multitude of experience and talent this season on this squad. The base of the program has grown well, and there is a good chance .500 might be

in sight as the Cougars have now dropped into Class B.Coach’s comment: ”Now we need to make sure we are united as

a team and that we nurture the younger kids so we can continue to grow the program.”– Coach Jeannine Paradis

Coach: Mark Cyr (fourth year)Last year’s record: N/AReturning players: Seniors — Matt Dustin, Cam Henkel; Junior — Drew Ferarri.Key losses: Dom Clements, Clint Orcutt.

Promising newcomers: Freshman — Taylor France.Outlook: The Cougars may take a small step back this season with the loss of Clements and Orcutt. They will be young and inexperienced at the varsity level as a whole, but should be able to scrape together some wins and remain competitive.

Coach’s comment: ”If we can finish above .500 this season, we’ll be happy.” – Coach Mark Cyr

Coach: Colin Griggs (second year)Last year’s record: 8-4-2Returning players : Seniors — Chelsea Boucher, Jenna Bosse, Mariah Mosher; Juniors — Emily Wy man, Taylor Tei xeira, Kel l i K lassen, Haley Bisson, Sydney Randall; Sophomores — Olivia Brown, Janelle Tardif, Charlotte MiddletonKey Losses: Sarah Markey, Janelle Bradish, Kaitlyn Paiton, Laura Dow, Catherine Byrne, Talya BentOutlook: Hebron has 11 regulars back from last year and has added nine more players to the roster in the preseason. That has expectations high for this club.Coach’s comment: “This season could be one of the best in recent history for the Lumberjacks. One of our biggest advantages this year is the schedule, with all three of our New Hampshire opponents coming to Hebron. Last year, they held Hebron to just two goals in three games and accounted for two losses and a tie. We expect that hosting those opponents at home this year will make for more success. They w il l once again be good tests outside of Maine, and they could make or break the season.” – Coach Colin Griggs

Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School

Coach: Chris Morin (fourth year)Last year’s record: 2-10-2Returning players : Seniors — Austin Chute (MF), Aaron Crockett (G), Christian Cummings (FB), Zach Kimball (MF), Brian Lynch (MF/F), Mac Menezes (MF), Nick Record (F/MF), Jacob Sutclif fe (FB), Tyler Truman (FB); Juniors — Conner Beebe (MF), Kenny Lynch (FB); Sophomore — Matt Beauchesne (MF/F).Key losses: Matt McVety (G), Collin

Tucker (F), Ben Millett (F), Derek Morin (FB).Promising newcomers: Senior — Benin LaLiberte (MF), Spenser New man (F), Harrison Turner (MF), Ian Vail (FB); Juniors — Colin Chase (MF), Dakota Durgin (G), Adam Nolan (FB).O u t l o o k : T h e V i k i n g s l o s t experience and leadership from last year’s team, including Morin, a two-time all-KVAC player. Oxford Hills still has a returning group that has seen a lot of playing time and knows the rigors of the KVAC varsity schedule. With that added

seasoning, the Vikings could take a step forward this year and improve upon last year’s mark.Coach’s comments: “We have a

lot of returning players that saw significant playing time last year. We are working hard and have expectations on gett ing better

every time we step on the field.” – Coach Chris Morin

Coach: Cortney Sirois (second year)Last year’s record: 2-10-2Returning players : Seniors — Kiersten Zufelt (MF), Danielle Allen (MF), Abby Morton (MF), Lacey Landry (MF), Elizabeth Libby (FB), Breanna Martin (G), Samantha Hatch (G); Juniors — K r isten Ga mache ( F ), Joa n na Mu rch (MF), Colleen Stauder (F), Alyssa Andrews (FB), Maggie Law ton (MF); Sophomores — Ellex Loper

(F), Coley Zufelt (F), Crystal West (F).Key losses: Dayna Schultz (MF), Mariah Martin (F), Melissa Strauss (FB).Promising newcomers: Seniors — Megen Wright (FB), Megan McNelly (MF); Junior — Abbie Ea st ma n ( F ); Sophomores — Haylee Chute (FB), Jordan Schoor (FB); Freshman — Mikayla Morin (MF), Lauren Emery (F)Outlook: Sirois is optmistic about what this group could do this season. There is a good core of

experienced players back, led by all-conference midfielder Kiersten Zufelt. There’s also a promising

new group that should help the Vikings continue to improve.Coach’s comment: “ I am looking

f or w a r d t o w h a t t h i s t e a m w i l l accomplish t his season.” – Coach Cortney Sirois

Coach: Paul Withee (first year)Last year’s record: 1-7Returning players: Seniors — Josh McDonald (WR/DE), Caleb Archer (OL/DL), Kyle Rainey (OL/LB), Tyler Hamlin (OL/LB), Logan Sanborn (WR/DB), Ryan Creney (S/RB); Juniors — Jordan Croteau (FB/LB), Dexter Turner (DE), Billy Leahy (OL/DL).Key losses: George Turner (WR/DB), Danny Taylor (WR/DB), Jon Flanders (RB/DE/P), Matt Farnum (TE/S), Chris Priest (RB/S), Andy Ripley (TB/DB).

Promising newcomers: Senior — Brandon Campbell (DT); Juniors — John Frechette (QB/DB), Dylan Cox (RB/DB), Dylan Frechette (RB/DB), Ryan Godin (S).Over view: Ox ford Hi l ls opens camp under a new regime with a coach who brings instant cache and credibility. Withee took over a f loundering Foxcroft program a nd g u ided it to t h ree state championships and eight Eastern Maine t it les. Ox ford Hil ls has averaged one win per season over the last four. Already there are signs of a turnaround, with several junior a nd senior at h letes returning to footba l l a f ter a n ex tended

absence. One of those newcomers, Frechette, takes over at QB. Croteau was the leading tackler in PTC ‘A’ as a sophomore. The Vikings won’t rate much preseason discussion

as a playoff contender, but don’t be surprised when they pull off an upset or two.C o a c h ’ s c o m m e n t : “ M y expectations will never change

for as long I’m coaching. I always w a nt to ma ke t he playof f s .” – Coach Paul Withee

Coach: Cindy Goddard (23rd year)Last year’s record: 8-5-1Returning players : Seniors — Ash ley West, Heat her Verr ier, Dominique Hutchins, Mikeckney Wa rd, Ka l i Di xon ; Ju n iors — A m a n d a H a n n i n g , G a b b y Goodall, Meghan Feely, Abi Egan; Sophomores — Jess Murch, Erica Jackson.Key losses : Ma r isa Ha n n i ng, Hannah Warren, Kellie Wilcox, J e s s i c a G a u t h i e r , S h e l b y Richardson, Rachel Brennan.Promising newcomers: Rebecca Mason, Tayla Smedberg, Nicole

Godbout, Sholie Hanscom, Caitlin Bernier, Shannon Fillebrown.Outlook: The Vikings ought to be very competitive with most teams they’ll face, and the end result is likely a mid-pack finish. Look for this squad to be knocking on the door in the playoffs, and winning a round may not be out of the question.Coach’s comment: ”We play in a tough league. My goal for this team is to work to the best of their ability. The veteran players are going to be ca l led upon to anchor a lot of the

load until the younger players gain knowledge and experience at the varsity level.”– Coach Cindy Goddard

Coach: Dan Sylvester (fourth year)Last year’s record: 5-8-1Returning players : Seniors — Morgan Reeves (MF/F), Just in Grant (FB), Shane Tanguay (G), Joe Osmond ( MF/F ), Keena n Grover (FB), Ryan Fairbanks (F), Mike Graham (FB), Zach Turner (MF), Brent Cyr (MF/F), Mason Smith (FB/MF); Juniors — Brady Fenderson (MF), Aa ron Ha l ls ( M F/F ) ; S ophomore — Z ach

Stevens (F/MF).Key losses : Mike Degou, Cody Watson, Austin Berry.Promising newcomers: Juniors — Brett Williams (FB), Elliot Manocal (FB); Sophomore — Dillon Clifford (FB).Outlook: Fairbanks and Reeves were both MVC all-stars and led the team in scoring. They lead a core group of returning players that should make Lisbon a formidable foe in the MVC.Coach’s comment: “These guys are

really focused on the entire season. We w il l have to f inish and be

ready to compete every day. The MVC is solid, which wil l make

t he season ver y competit ive.” – Coach Dan Sylvester

Coach: Jake Gentle (fourth year)Last year’s record: 10-3-2, lost in Western B quarterfinalsReturning players : Seniors — Haley Eck (FB), Brooke Lawrence (MF), Katherine Lemieux (FB), Sarah Giraldo (FB), Alexa Harmon (MF); Juniors — Kayla Angelico ( F ) , Br a nd i-Jo St or m a n ( F ) , Chelsea Huston (MF), Gabrielle Ouellette (FB), Chantal Bisson (FB/G); Sophomores — Shantal MacWhinnie (MF), Paige Galligan (MF), Jenna Clifford (F).Key losses: Kyrstin Ramich (G), Ta r a Me t z ger ( M F ) , Sh au n a

Riordan (MF), Ashley Fournier (FB), Katie McManus (MF).Promising newcomers: Junior — Jordan Kates; Sophomores — Olivia Bulgin, Courtney Martel, Renae Samay-Houle; Freshmen — Loren

Grant, Kailyn Hill, Dakota Bisson.Outlook: The Greyhounds return 13 players from last year’s club, including Lawrence, an all-state and all-MVC player, and Angelico, an all-MVC pick. With the move to

Class C, Lisbon hopes to build off last year and be a team to watch in the MVC and Western Class C.Coach’s comment: “I think we will be competitive in the MVC and hope to utilize the playoff

experience these upperclassmen have obtained over the last couple years. “ – Coach Jake Gentle

Coach: Dick Mynahan (24th year)Last year’s record: 9-2, lost in Western C championshipReturning players: Seniors — Zack Splude (TB/LB), Cameron Graf (WR/TE/CB), Chase Hunter (G/NG); Juniors — Ryan Riordan (QB/DB), Kyle Sheehan (FB/MLB).Key losses: Tobey Harrington (RB/DB), Josh Pomerleau (RB/DB), Mike McNamara (LB), Luke Caron (QB), John Crafts (C/DE), Matt Nicholson (G/LB), Nick Dingley (G/DE).Promising newcomers: Seniors — Dalton Dunphy (OL/DL), Cody Donov a n ( OL/DL); Ju n ior s — Mason Haley (RB), Casey Garrison

(T/DT); Sophomores — Jordan To r r e s ( R E B / D B ) , Q u i n c y Thompson (RB), Jacob Bremmer (OL/DL), Nate Gamache (OL/DL).Overview: Two tough losses to Yarmouth abbreviated what was otherwise a typical, gritty Lisbon

season in 2010. The Greyhounds were successful in the face of injuries, ineligibility, a lack of si ze a nd a ny ot her obstacles t hat wa ndered i nto t he way. R iorda n st a r te d t wo playof f games at quarterback as a result

of that shorthanded situation. That experience is likely to pay dividends this fall. Lisbon isn’t any bigger in the backfield, but it has more quickness and depth than Mynahan can recall in many years. Lisbon should be in the mix

with Yarmouth and Traip in the Campbell Conference southern division once again.Coach’s comment: “It looks like the type of team that could get better every week, which is what you like to see.” – Coach Dick Mynahan

Coach: Hank Fuller (24th year)Returning players: Boys: Seniors — Hayden Stewart, Joe Daigle, Kody Priddle, Kyle Priddle, Garrett Starr; Junior — Ben Kates; Girls: Meagan Thomas, Samantha Foote, Angela Bulgin; Junior — Kristen Carter; Sophomores — Abigail Roy.Key losses: Boys: Forrest Cornell; Girls: Jackie KnowlesPromising newcomers : Boys : Senior — Derick Lycette, Andrew Smith; Sophomore — Neil Smith;

Freshmen — Zack Drottar, Jeff Willey.Outlook: Led by Kates and Stewart, the Greyhound boys hope to move up in a tough Mountain Valley Conference f ield. Developing a strong second pack would help. Numbers are down for the girls, but with the return of Bulgin after a one-yea r soccer sabbat ica l, they have a solid top four and an excellent No. 1 in Thomas, who finished seventh in Class C as a junior.Coach’s comment: “The boys are

going to have a strong pack and how well that pack moves up as a group is going to determine how well we

do. The girls will be competitive in the league and are hoping to qualfy for states.” – Coach Hank Fuller

Lisbonpage 18 ‰

Coach: Jen Laberge (second year)Last year’s record: 4-10Returning players : Seniors — Jasmine Turner, Bet ha ny Ray, Natasha Smith, Katie Hutchinson, Ally Kirby; Juniors — Emily Harlow, Olivia Rottari.Key losses: Molly Grannall, Ashley Guptil, Breanna Harlow, Meghan Landry, Paige Leighton, Leanna

Labrecque, Leah Rottari, Kellie Sanborn, Taryn Sangillo, Kaitlyn Johnston.Promising newcomers: None listed.Outlook: Losing 10 players to graduation is never easy, and the early part of the season will be spent doing a lot of adjusting, but the younger players in this group are very eager and ready to take on the varsity challenge.Coach’s comment: ”We play in an

i ncred ibly st rong conference and we always give a good fight. I think we will fa re wel l aga i n st t he tea ms i n t he c o n f e r e n c e . W e would like to rebuild our team this year and really develop the younger players.”– Coach Jen Laberge

Coach: Andy Higgins (first year)Last year’s record: 7-7-1, lost in Western B quarterfinalReturning players: Seniors — Ian Martell (MF), Craig Moreau (F), Donny Hodges (FB), Travis Hicks (FB), Ben Jordan (FB), Nick Jordan (FB); Juniors — Jack Martell (MF), Will Martlett (MF), Jack Street (MF), Paul Fotter (FB), Josh Kane (MF); Sophomores — Aust in

McDonald (F), Noal Lobozzo (MF).Key losses: Tyler Holmquist (G/F), Ryan Sullivan (FB), Kolby Arnold (MF), Ben Ver r i l l (FB), Rya n Cavallaro (G/FB), Matt Kane (FB), Danny Street (MF), Zach Knapp (F).Promising newcomers: Juniors — Ethan Bruns (F), Nick Rogers (G/FB); Sophomores — Spencer Harriman (G), Jesse Lowell (MF); Freshmen — Tyler St. Pierre (F), Eric Wilcox (MF).Outlook: The Patriots return a strong group of upperclassmen,

le d by Jack Ma r tel l , a n a l l-state midfielder. The team has experience and playoff seasoning. T h a t s h o u l d m a k e G -NG a competitive club in the WMC and a

likely tourney team.Coach’s comments: “We look to reach the postseason for the third consecutive season. The Patriots need to play and work as a team

on a nightly basis in the tire-iron tough Western Maine Conference.” – Coach Andy Higgins

Coach: Adam Zukowski (fifth year)Returning players: Boys: Seniors —Dylan Fowler, Jeremy Holmquist, D a n n y M a r s h a l l , M i t c h e l l Stephens, Randall Stephens; Junior — David McCann; Sophomore — Will Shafer; Girls: Seniors — Jasmine Harper, Lydia Larson, Elizabeth Pf lugradt; Sophomores — Audrey Garcia, Grace Ferguson.Key losses: Boys: Ben Schaeffer.Prom ising newcomers : Boys :

Junior — Dan Rowe; Freshman — Ian Marshall; Girls: Senior — Sam Davol; Sophomore — Makala MacLean.Overview: Shafer finished ninth in Western Class B as a freshman and leads what should be a solid core of veteran and new runners. Garcia is the top returning girl, with Larson and Pf lugardt adding to a competitive top pack. Zukowski expects the newcomers to make an immediate impact.Coach’s comment: “A solid nucleus

returns to lead the girls’ team this fall.” – Coach Adam Zukowski

Coach: Gary Newell (first year)Last year’s record: 5-8-2, lost in Western B quarterfinals.Retur ning players : Sen ior — Maggie Chaplin (MF); Juniors — Haylee Cote (MF), Sammie Wilkins (G), Taylor Darnell (MF). Key losses: Meghan Dehetre (MF),

Alicia Valente (MF), Jess Richards (FB), Lauren Trickey (FB), Sarah Pelkey (FB), Elizabeth Allen (F).Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Caitlin Holmquist (MF), Anisa Hayman (FB), Ashley Moreau (F), Emily Hotham (F).O ver v iew : T he Pat r iot s a re young after the graduation of an experienced group of seniors.

Newell becomes the third coach in three seasons, but has high expectations. He hopes this club can build off the improvement that has come the last few seasons.Coach’s com ment : “I bel ieve in these girls, this program and this community. I expect to win 10 games this season, enter the playoffs with confidence and a

d e s i r e t h a t w i l l have us ready for the challenges that await.” – Coach Gary Newell

Coach: Phil Prideaux (second year)Last year’s record: 0-9Returning players: Seniors — Josh Bagdon (TE/DE), Colbey Bowen (G/OLB), Roman Latno (QB/OLB), Jon Greenleaf (HB/S); Juniors — Colin Skilling (C/LB), Cam Quintal (T/LB). Josh Hilliard (OL/DL).Key losses: None.Promising newcomers: Juniors — Vincent Beaulieu (DT), Josh Greenleaf (CB).Outlook: No team was hit harder

by an MPA committee’s decision to stick with three classes for football than G-NG, which is only two students above the current Class B-C cutoff line. So the Patriots remain in the higher division with the likes of Mountain Valley, Cape Elizabeth, Wells and newcomers Marshwood, Westbrook and Spruce Mountain. The good news: Most of the team returns intact after a rough 2010, and a tiered schedule will keep G-NG matched primarily against the other young programs in the Campbell Conference.

Coach’s comment: “We’re st i l l young. We’re in good spirits. We’re obviously smaller than every other

team in the league.” – Coach Phil Prideaux

Coach: Bill Acritelli (first year)Last year’s record : Jay 2-10-2; Livermore Falls 7-6-1Returning players : Seniors — Jake Freeman (SK), Eli Capen (FB), Spencer Osgood (FB), Jon Neil (F), Tyler Gervais (G/F), Zach Hodgkin (MF), Ethan Hutchins (G/F), Jacob Roy (MF), Kyle Sawyer (MF), Ian Gingras (MF), Isaac Couture (MF); Juniors — Owen Timberlake (FB), Devon Autrey (FB), Jon Blais (FB), Alex Hartford (MF), Doug Fournier (MF), Cameron Rose (FB), Greg Whitney (F), Tyson Newman (MF), Caleb Berry (MF), James Richards

(MF); Sophomores — Adam Gettle (F), Erik Taylor (MF), Max Moreau (MF), Dustin Jones (FB), Jarod Roy (FB), Mike Paradis (FB), Mike Chavez (FB). Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Andrew Wilcox (MF), Avery Noll (F), Tyler Ritter (MF), Tristen Begin (F), Noah Parker (F), Alex Kennedy (F), Jacob Luce (FB), Shane Missler (MF), Alex Greenleaf (F).Overview: The Pnoenix combine the programs from Livermore Falls and Jay. Both squads missed the playoffs last fall, so the Phoenix are anxious to earn a playoff berth. Acritelli has enough depth to have a JV program and a solid group of seniors to lead the way. It has

taken some time to get the players accustomed to playing together, but the Phoenix are excited to show what they can do this season.Coach’s comment: “I am thrilled to be able to coach this team. We have a great bunch of kids that have been

working hard through the summer, as well as preseason. If these kids can play to their potential, it should be a great season. It is a long season with a lot of work to do. Playing in the MVC and then going into the B playoffs is going to be tough, but the

kids are working hard and looking forward to any challenges set in front of them.” – Bill Acritelli

Coach: Jon Blaisdell (first season)Last year’s record: 6-6-2, lost in Western C quarterfinalReturning players: Seniors — Lexi Deering (F), Samantha Hutchinson (FB); Juniors — Emily Acritelli (FB), Lindsey Allen (FB), Alison C h icoi ne-Bates ( F B ), A nd rea Chicoine-Bates (MF), Casidee Couture (F), Natashia Couture ( F B ), Ta bit ha T ibbet t s ( F B ); Sophomores — Hayley Doyon ( MF ), Br it ta ny Ca r r ier ( MF ), Brianna Martin (MF).Promising newcomers: Freshmen

— Vanese Barnes (F), Megan Duval (F), Amia Pelletier (MF), Emily Keene (G/MF), Tara Williams (G/MF).Outlook: Jay and Livermore Falls combine again in girls’ soccer. The two schools formed a cooperative program a few years ago and fielded a playoff team. Jay went at it alone last year with Blaisdell as coach. Deering scored 22 goals for that team and was an all-MVC player. The Phoenix had 28 girls out for the team, giving the squad plenty of depth. Coach’s comment : “T he g i rls have a great att itude and our

team chemistry is awesome. Our program is still in its infancy, but is steadily growing. Our incoming players’ skills continue to improve, thanks to our coaching staff in

junior high. We expect to steadily improve throughout the season as the girls get used to playing together.” – Coach Jon Blaisdell

Coach: Mark Bonnevie (10th year overall)Last year’s record: First year as a programReturning players: Seniors — Jake Bessey (WR), Zach Bonnevie (QB/DB), Andrew Stearns (FB/LB), Tommy Lee (OL/LB), Gavin Jones (RB/DB), James Barker (TE/LB), Bill Calden (RB/LB), Travis Williams (OL/DL), Ryan Pelletier (RB/DB), Nate Shink (WR/LB), Kyle Ainsley (OL/DL), Jake Richards (OL/DL),; Juniors — Brandon Hodges (OL/LB), Brent Buote (FB/LB), Nate Hamblin (QB/DB); Sophomore — Alwayne Uter (RB/FS).

Key losses: Livermore Falls — Alex Rose (HB/DB), Mike Armstrong (TE/DE), Sam Chabot (G/LB), Jay — Jordan D. Couture (RB/DB), Kyle Storer (TE/LB), Matt Lancaster (G/NG)Promising newcomers: Seniors — Ben Keene (WR/LB), Peter Ruffalo (OL/DL)’ Juniors — Kyle Seltzer (C), Josh Wilcox (OL/DL), Patrick Flanigan (RB), James Metzger (DL), Austin Schmidt (RB/DB).Overview: Reunited and it feels so good. Most of the inaugural edit ion of the Phoeni x played together through youth football all the way up to the eighth grade. Nevertheless, there w il l be an adjustment period, especially for the Livermore Falls contingent

getting used to the plays, schemes, f o r m a t i o n s a n d t e c h n i q u e s Bonnevie has brought with him from Jay. Unlike recent years when t hey were sepa rated into t wo much smaller squads, the Phoenix will be able to withstand injuries

and the overall wear-and-tear of the season. The first half of the schedule is tough, so there will be no easing their way into Class B.Coach’s com ment : “T he k ids have come together really well.” – Coach Mark Bonnevie

The result should be

one of the top MVC schools once again. The difference will come at playoff time, when the Phoenix will dive into the Class B tourney. The team is missing a ton of talent from each of last year’s teams, but also combining will help minimize some of those effects.Coach’s comment: ”We’ve had a great summer with the team together. The preseason has been great, and we’re looking forward to the challenge of bringing the two schools together as one. We’re very excited about this year.”– Coach Julia Parker

Oxford Hillsfrom page 9

Coach: Luc Roy (fourth year)Last year: Boys, 11th in KVAC; Girls, did not score in KVAC.Returning athletes: Boys: Seniors — Jesse Newcomb, Jeremy Read, Daniel Costanzi; Juniors — Matthew Breer, Kolby Robichaud; Sophomores — Kane Williamson, Ben Dill. Girls: Seniors — Adena St. John; Juniors — Moriah Lee, India Lucas; Sophomore — Alexandra James.Key losses: None.

Promising newcomers : Boys : Senior — Forest Todd; Sophomore — Marc Hunt; Freshman — Sudeep St auble. Gi r l s : Fre s h men — Miranda Murphy, Julia Dillon. Outlook: Losing no runners to

graduation will help the Vikings as they look to build a team with enough runners to score in the conference and regional meets. Newcomb and Read are the top runners for the boys. Lee and Lucas

will set the tone for the girls.Coach’s comment: “Our boys’ tea m w it h f ive st rong sen ior runners gives us a chance to get a good pack in below the 20-minute mark.” – Coach Luc Roy

Coach: Rick Carleton (4th year)Last year’s record: 9-4 (Liv. falls); Jay had no team.Returning player: Senior — Chris Bubier.Key losses: Jimmy Seitz, Brain Maurais, Mike Anctil.Promising newcomers: Senior — Jacob Boivin.Outlook: This is a lean year for the Spruce Mountain golf program. A small turnout depsite the new, merged school and those who are out are short on golfing experience. After a successful season last fall as Livermore Falls, expect a step

back from this bunch this year as it hopes to build going forward.Coach’s comment: ”We are just looking to get better every day and improve our skills.”– Coach Rick Carleton

Coach: Don Goodwin (second year)Last year’s record: 4-6R e t u r n i n g pl a y e r s : Jor d a n Rouillard, Aaron Boulos, Nick Henneman, Nick Gallant, Cody Brann.Key losses: Dillon Carll.Promising newcomers : Tyler Credit, Trevor Bissonette.Outlook: After dipping below .500 a year ago, look for the Patriots to return to the upper-middle of the fold. Still a young team, the Patriots have worked to better themselves this summer. With an extra year under their belts, the returning core of players should help lead the team.Coach’s comment: ”W hile we face a very difficult schedule, I am confident we will have a very good showing this year in the regular season.” – Coach Don Goodwin

Coach: Mike Grace (eighth year)Last year’s record : 8-3, K VAC semifinalistReturning players: Seniors — Zach Turmenne, Nick Michaud, Taylor Brown; Junior — Dev yn Foster; Sophomores — Ben Mor ton,

Dalton Rice, Matt Michaud.Key losses: Jordan Strong, Dylan Cox, Jonah Williams.P r o m i s i n g n e w c o m e r s : Sophomore — Bria na Morr is ; Freshmen — Chris Burns, Cam Letour neau, Heat h W hit ma n, Cordell Brooks.Outlook: On paper, this team is pretty young, but the three

seniors are all veterans of KVAC compet it ion, a nd t he tea m’s returning sophomores also played last season. There is nothing here to say that the Vikings won’t be at least as strong as last season, and will be in the hunt for the KVAC crown again this season. The biggest lesson still to learn here is how to win away from the friendly confines

of the team’s home course.Coach’s comment: ”We have no superstars here, but we have a good group of very steady, competitive golfers. We have five or six guys that can all play at the top on any given day. I’d expect we’ll be pretty strong.” – Coach Mike Grace

Coach: Keith Weatherbie (second year)Returning players: Boys: Senior —Patrick LaChance, Sophomores — Tom Therriault, Mac Labee; Girls: Juniors — Hanna Tyce, Darby Frost; Sophomore — Callie Greco.Key losses: Boys: Joe Bosse; Girls: A lyse Carney, Caroly n Joseph, Caroline Sheats.Promising newcomers : Boys : Freshman — Michael Blaich; Girls: Senior — Sarah Small; Sophomores — Mega n R i ng, E l len Tut t le ; Freshman — Emily Carney.

Overview: The Saints lost three of the top seven girls from last year’s MVC champion. Tyce and Greco are the lone top 20 holdovers and should be bolstered by the addition of Small, a top middle distance runner in track. If they stay hea lthy and more of the newcomers can contribute, they should compete for another MVC crown.Coach’s comment:

“We do have some new kids out running, and they’re doing real well.” – Coach Keith Weatherbie

Coach: Kathy Little (ninth year)Last year’s record: 15-1-1, lost in Western CReturning players : Seniors — Mary Caron (G), Emily Conner (FB), Stephanie Costel lo (MF), Meghan Hargreaves (F), Dayle Jordan (FB), Emily Rioux (FB), Beck y Tr y tek (FB); Juniors —

Courtney Costel lo (FB), Kayla McLel lan (F), Kel ley McLel lan ( M F ) , E m i l y P o u l i n ( F B ) ; Sophomore — Marley Byrne (MF).Ke y los s e s : Ha i le y Gi r a rd i n (MF), Sophia Goulet (F), Meagan Law rence (MF), Taylor Paquet (MF), Clara Bosco (F).Promising newcomers : Seniors — Jasmine Hussey (FB), Nicole Keaney (MF), Nicole Levesque (F); Juniors — Katie Emery (G), Sarah

Trott (F); Freshman — Emily Caron (MF), Kirsten Conner (MF).Outlook: The Saints went further than any St. Dom’s girls’ team last fall and hope to go even further this season. St. Dom’s lost some veteran talent, but still has an experienced g roup, especia l ly on defense. The Saints should remain one of the strongest team in the MVC and should be in good position in Western C.

Coach’s comment: “The 2011 season has the potential of being a promising yea r. T h i s yea r ’s s q u a d c o m e s i n v e r s a t i le a nd ha s t he d r ive to exceed last year’s successful season.” – Coach Kathy Little

Coach: Marty Bressler (first year)Last year’s record: 13-2-2, lost in Western C semifinalReturning players : Seniors — Cam Hainey (G), Austin Gervais (FB), Chris Finlay (FB), Matt Roy (MF), Troy Haefele (MF), David Dean (FB), Josu Asun (F); Juniors — Will Desmaris (MF), Bobby St.

Hilaire (FB), Zak Johnson (MF); Sophomore — Chase Hainey (FB).Key losses: Dan Curtis (FB), Jack Erickson (MF), Alex Parker (F), Kyle Hargreaves (FB), Kurt Johnson (MF), Brian Mathieu (FB), Josh Brown (G).Promising newcomers : Juniors — Tyler Furtado (F), Bill Soper (FB), Jordan Charest (MF), Aaron Schmit z (FB); Sophomores —

Robbie Pallozzi (F), Calvin Stewart (MF), TJ Rotolico (MF). Freshmen — Matt Chasse (FB), Ben Sawyer (G).Outlook: The Saints graduated a wealth of talent and have a new coach. Bressler coached the seniors when they were freshmen. That has helped the transition, but this team still has a lot of returning talent that is stepping into larger roles. St. Dom’s will improve as this group

a c c l i m a t e s i t s e l f and could be a team to watch down the stretch.Coach’s comment : “We have a sol id squad, however how well the team does depends on senior leadership.” – Coach Marty Bressler

Coach: Brian Kay (13th year)Last year’s record: 2-12Returning players : Seniors — Jen na Fongem ie, A l l i Con ley, Kaitlyn Roy, Abby Jansen; Juniors — Katie Bosse, Katie Naum, Melissa Murray; Sophomores — Brittany Eastman, McKenna Lachapelle, Monica Stewart.Key losses: Lauren Ratsep, Marisa Zamrock.

Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Jessica Boulet, Emma Samson, Joha nna Cu l lenberg, Madison Gendron, Claudia Erickson.Outlook: After a rare swoon, the Saints appear to be back on the rise again. Defense has been the key for this team as it rebuilds, and it’s likely going to show this season, with a strong back end. If the offense can find its stride as the season moves along, playoffs are possible. Coach’s com ment : ” We have

several veterans on defense and the incoming freshmen should help on the scoring end.” – Coach Brian Kay

Coach: Kevin Cullen (sixth year)Last year’s record : 13-0, M VC cha mps, 2nd at Class C state tourneyReturning players : Seniors — Anthony Fagone, Joe Bryant, Cody Rodrigue, Dan Nadeau, Amanda Turcotte; Junior — Zack DeBlois; Sophomore — Michael Richard.

Key losses: Dylan Rodrigue, Isaac Reed, Kevin Costello.Promising newcomers: Junior — John Marcous.Outlook: This team just doesn’t stop reloading. The Saints have now also established a middle school program and the cupboard continues to replenish itself. Look for this squad to once again take aim at a Class C crown. The senior core of this team was around to see

the program’s most recent title as freshmen, and they would like nothing more but to put their own stamp in the school’s history books.Coach’s comment: ”The core of this team all learned a lot from the previous players, and we have a huge group of freshmen who we hope can continue that tradition in years to come.”– Coach Kevin Cullen

Coach: Tim O’Connor (sixth year, first as varsity program)Last year’s record: 8-0 as a club teamTop players : Seniors — Drew Wilson (WR/CB), Kenny Haas (C/NT), Derick Poland (LB), Dylan Poland (TB), Jason Powers (G), Devin Vail (G/DE), Ricky Osgood (CB), Corey Howa rd (TE/DE), Eric Varnum (S/DE); Juniors —

Dominic Haines (QB), Nick Mills (TB/DE), Kurt Morgan (G/DE), Will Lyman (FB/LB); Sophomore — Logan Bartlett (OL/DL); Freshman — David Pilgrim (OL/DL).O u t l o o k : W h i l e o t h e r developmental programs jumped quick ly into t he Class C f ray, Telstar took its time, playing five full JV-level seasons. Last year’s undefeated run against the likes of Monmouth. Poland and Gray-New Gloucester left the Rebels feeling optimistic about the logical next step. Nine seniors and above-average size up front will help ease the transition. Mills, who played youth football before turning to

soccer for two years, should be an impact player on both sides. Haines moves from receiver and takes over for four-year starter T.J. O’Connor, the coach’s son, under center. There is football tradition in the archives:

Telstar won Class C titles in 1972 and ’73.Coach’s comment: “We are not small. We have some big, rugged, aggressive kids.” – Coach Tim O’Connor


Coach : Joe F letcher (sec ond season)Last year’s record: 5-8-1Returning players: Seniors — Nick Trenholm (MF), Kyle Brown (FB); Juniors — Drew McFarren (FB), Devin West (G), Russell Neal (MF); Sophomore — Kyle Fletcher (SK).Key losses: Robbie Neal (G), Eric Columbe (SW ), Tim W hitmore (SK), Jeremy Ashlock (MF).Promising newcomers: Senior —

Ben Woodman (SW); Freshman — Ben Bolstridge (FB).Outlook: The Mustangs have a solid group returning and add 11 freshmen to the mix. Fletcher was an all-conference player and

scored 20 goals last year. He is joined by Trenholm and Neal in the middle and Brown and McFarren in the back. West replaces Robbie Neal in goal. Monmouth is hoping to make great strides this season and

be a factor in the playoff chase.Coach’s comment: “We expect to compete at a high level within our conference. We look to improve upon the progress we showed last year. With West, Woodman,

McFarren, Trenholm and Fletcher play i ng i n t he m idd le of t he f ield, we should compete and challenge for a playoff berth.” – Coach Joe Fletcher

Coach: Tom Menendez (10th year)R e t u r n i n g p l a y e r s : B o y s : Seniors — Matt Br yant, Brian Nugent; Junior — Tyler Horsford; S op h om or e s — B e n B a i l e y, Marques Houston, Dylan Thombs, Stewart Buzzell ; Girls : Tammy Cush ma n, MacKen z ie Kel ley ; Sophomores — Tif fa ny Pease,

Amanda Anair.Key losses: Boys: Pat McInnis, Matt McInnis, Kevin DesmondPromising newcomers : Boys : Freshmen — Alex Turbide, Hannon Sanford; Girls: Senior — Christine Kahl; Freshmen — India Pickett, Jordan Mann, Becky Bryant, Emilly Czotkowski.Outlook: Numbers are strong on both teams this year. The boys lost their top three, including

Matt McInnis, who transferred out of state. Menendez st i l l hopes to get five harriers under 18:30 in t ime to contend at the end of October. The girls could surprise with a strong sophomore class led by Pease, who finished in the top 15 at regionals and states last year.Coach’s comment: “We’ve got a good solid core of six or seven kids.” – Coach Tom Menendez

Coach: Gary Trafton (fifth year)Last year’s record: 7-5-2Returning players : Seniors — Colby Wilson (MF), Molly Menice (FB), Kourtnee Langlois (FB), Angie Bechard (FB), Lauren Beaudoin (F), Chelse Arsenault (F); Juniors — Danielle Burmann (FB), Melissa Brassard (MF), Lenny Urquhart ( F B ) ; S ophomor e s — A s h le y Coulombe (F), Natalie Young (G), Kylie Kemp (F), Sabrina Beck (F), Paxton Lessard (MF).Key losses: Kristi Hilton (FB), Kelsie Hilton (G).Outlook: The Mustangs lost two a l l-con ference players i n t he Hilton sisters but still have most of the team back. Monmouth should be strong defensively and have experience in the midfield. After just missing the tournament last year, despite a winning record,

Monmouth should contend for a Western C playoff spot. Coach’s comment: “We had a very successful season last year. With the addition of new players and the strong committment of our entire team, we are focused on moving to the next level.” – Coach Gary Trafton

Coach: Isaiah Davis (11th year)Last year’s record: 6-7-1Returning players : Seniors — Nate Miller (FB), Zack Fullerton (MF), Zachary Hudner (MF), Korey Mulherin (G/F); Juniors — Ben Ramser (FB), Christian Fullerton (F), Bi l ly Clark (FB), Brandon Morissette (MF); Sophomore — Matt Thibodeau (MF).Key losses: Elliott Wiegmann (FB), Joshua Chouinard (FB), Kyle Smith (FB), Cooper Legee (MF), Ethan

Hibler (MF).P r o m i s i n g n e w c o m e r s : Sophomores — Jon Belanger (FB), Connor Violette (F), Evan Paquette (FB), A nt hony Tedesco (MF); Freshmen — Derek Gosselin (FB), Tyler Roux (MF), Ben Fullerton (G), Madison Noel (MF), Harrison Knowlton (F).Outlook: Davis returns to the Hornet varsity after a year off. Leavitt just missed a playoff berth last year and have their sights set on a tourney spot. Davis expects a lot of close ga mes t hat his

team will have to finish strong and earn the wins to get the tourney points they need.

Coach’s comment: ” The playoffs are the goal and if we work hard that should be a goal we can reach.”

– Coach Isaiah Davis

Coach: Chris Cifelli (sixth year)Last year’s record: 12-3-1, lost in Western B semifinalReturning players : Seniors — Sarah Frost (FB), Tori Zupancic (MF), Taren McGray (MF); Juniors — A lex Hud ner (FB), Syd ney Nadeau (FB), Mariah Treadwell (F), Desiree Tweedie (MF); Sophomores — Tatianna Sierra (FB), Kelsea Marchall (F), Kelly Pomerleau (G).

Key losses: Bri Hammond (MF), Abbey Randall (MF), Shannon Clarke (FB), Therese Raymond (FB), Kayla R icha rdson (FB), Ashley Dionne (FB), Jenna Cote (F), Danielle Dubois (F).Promising newcomers: Senior — Sarah Kyllonen (F); Sophomores — Taylor Benson (FB), Monica Beaule (MF), Melissa Richardson (F), Emily Perkins (F); Freshmen — Emily Miller (F), Cora Curtis (MF), Olivia Gilbert (FB).Outlook: The Hornets reached

the Western B semifinals for the f irst t ime last fall and hope to build upon that success. It won’t be easy for Leavitt. The Hornets graduated a wealth of talent and experience, including Hammond, an all-state player, and Randall and Richardson, both all-conference picks. Zupancic is a former all-state player and leads a young team hoping to continue last year’s momentum.Coach’s comment : “There w il l be no soft dates on our schedule

this year and adding Morse and Oceanside to the conference will

only give our conference more depth.” – Coach Chris Cifelli

Coach: Mike Hathaway (10th year)Last year’s record: 11-1. Lost Class B championship gameR e t u r n i n g p l a y e r s : S e n i o r s — J o r d a n H e r s o m ( Q B / S ) , Ja ke Ouel lette (TB/LB), Oscar Rodriguez (RB/DB), Ian Durgin (slot/DB), Jackson Griffin (T/DE), Danny Sleeper (TE/NT); Juniors — Brian Bedard (WR/DB), Devin McMahon (G/DT), Josh Bunker (G/LB), Jake Posic (C/DT).Key losses: Lucas Witham (SE/DB), Jason Fisher (RB/LB), Dylan Moore (DE), Devin Long (RB/LB), Jesse Pelletier (OL/DT), Zach Frost (OL/

DE), Max Cloutier (OL/DT), James Morin (OL/DT), Kurtis Brown (SE/DB), Christian McBreairty (TE/DB).Promising newcomers: Seniors —Tyler Vallee (TE/DE), Josh Allaire (DT), Cordell Albert (NT), Brandon MacDonald (TE/DE); Juniors — Brandon Collins (OL/LB), Tom Langelier (OL/DL), Kevin Russell (WR/DB); Sophomores — Andrew Middleton (WR/DB), Levi Morin (OL/DE), Nate Coombs (WR/DB), Josh Faunce (RB/DB), Sam Green (WR/DB).Overview: The Hornets’ bid for three consecutive PTC titles could be their toughest yet, but they have

the talent and depth to get back to Fitzpatrick Stadium. Hersom has worked hard to make his arm as big a threat as his legs, and if Bedard is healthy, he has another dangerous re c eiver to go w it h D u r g i n .

Ouellette is one of the top two-way players in the PTC, and with Bunker forms the backbone of the defense. They are bigger at the line of scrimmage than last year, but not quite as athletic.

Coach’s comment: “We have a good mix of size and speed and we’ve got a lot of kids we feel we can rotate through (offense and defense).” – Coach Mike Hathaway

Coach: Harry Haylock (eighth year)Last year’s record: 8-2Returning players : Seniors — Tyler Walton, Matt Bilodeau, Zack Richardson, Tony Landry; Junior — Mark Hite.Key losses: Karly Soracco; Eric Dubois.P r o m i s i n g n e w c o m e r s : Sophomore — Br ia n Hiscock; Freshman — Ryan Gosselin.Outlook: The Hornets’ slow climb in K VAC-B paid off last season with a nine-win campaign, and the Hornets may be primed for one more run at the conference. Soracco, one of the best schoolgirls in the state, will be conspicuous

in her absence, as will Dubois, but look for Walton to be a solid leader at the top for this senior-heav y group.

Coach’s comment: ”We have a good crew back and we’d like to think we can do as well as we did last year, but it’s going to be tough.”– Coach Harry Haylock

Coach: Wanda Ward-McLean (28th year)Last year’s record: N/AReturning players : Seniors — A ma nda Jorda n ( M F ), Ca se y Fichter (F), Kayla Royer (B), Taylor Eells (G), Adrianna Newton (F), Cassie Griffin (B); Junior — Morgan Shaw; Sophomores — Meagan Dow (MF/B), Brianna DeGone (F),

Cheryl Fichter (F).Key losses : MyKayla McCann, Karina Rodriguez.Promising newcomers: Seniors — A mber LeDuc (B), Kassidy Stevenson (F); Sophomores — A n n ie Castong uay (B), Sier ra Santamango (G); Freshmen — Sadie Royer (F), Emma Martineau (MF).Outlook: A large group of seniors with a lot of varsity experience returns to this team as the Hornets look to make a deep playoff run this season. Eells is as solid as they come in the cage, and Newton, the Fichters and DeGone are a solid

combination up front. Good play through the midfield is always a priority for Ward-McLean’s teams, and with the assembled talent, this team has a good chance to be in

the conversation for a top tourney berth at the end of the season.Coach’s comment : ”Even t he young kids we have back have a lot of varsity experience, and some of

our first-year kids are really good. We should have a pretty good team this year.”– Coach Wanda Ward-McLean

Coach: Dustin Williamson (fourth year)Last year: Girls sixth, boys 11th in KVAC Class B.Returning athletes: Girls: Seniors — Alana Mallar, Lucy Knowlton; Junior — Maddie Wiegman; Sophomore — Abby Chase. Boys: Junior — Tim Enos; Sophomores — Rylee Knox, Colby Varney.Key losses: Girls: Morgan Hill;

Boys: Keith Lemelin.Promising newcomers : Gi rls : Sophomore — A l i sha L abbe ; Fresh men — Brooke Va r ney, Olivia Mallar, Allison Heikkinen. Boys: Senior — Jared Richardson; Freshman — Nick Bachelder.Outlook: While the boys’ team has just enough runners to make a full scoring team, Enos will be strong individually and as a leader to help the team achieve its goals. The girls’ team is talented and is

expected to greatly improve last year’s KVAC and regional performances. Knowlton and Wiegman lead a strong group of girls going into the season.C o a c h ’ s c o m m e n t : “ E v e r y o n e i s f o c u s e d , prepared and energized for a successful and fun season.” – Coach Dustin Williamson

Coach: Joel Stoneton (eighth year)Last year’s record : 7-3 lost in Western C semifinalsReturning players: Seniors —Tyler Reeve (T/DE), Chris Bowers (C/DE), Robin Cook (FB/DT).Key losses: Colby Laflamme (WR/

CB), Travis Luce (QB), Ryan Conant (RB/LB), Derek Pamphrey (RB/FS), Eric Duplessis (FB/LB),Zach Barter (DT), Travis Hutchins (FB/LB), Joey Brennan (WR/CB).Promising newcomers: Senior — Matt Smith (T/DT); Junior — Dany Moody (RB/LB); Sophomores — Jared Hanson (QB), Austin Proctor

(QB), Zach Glazier (RB).Overview: It may be a rebuilding year for the Ramblers, but they did well the last time they faced an alleged rebuilding year, reaching the semfinals in 2009. Most of their experience is up front, where Reeve, Bowers and Cook lead what should be a strong, fast defense. Moody and Glazier are the latest in a long line of athletic running backs. Hanson and Proctor were battling for the starting QB job in preseason.

Coach’s comment: “We’re excited that our l ines have got some ex per ience, b u t w e ’r e q u i t e young.” – Coach Joel Stoneton

Most of the team are upperclassmen. MacMillan is a veteran keeper, while Guerette and

Doyle lead the offense up front. A new MVC schedule might give the Ramblers a better shot at some Heal

Points and a playoff berth.Coach’s comment: “I think if we can put a full game together of

the quality soccer I know we can play, we’ll come away victorious.” – Coach Greg Ruby

Coach: Jay Lindsey (11th year)Returning players: Boys: Senior —Kameron Souza, Junior — Mark Hachey; Girls : Sophomores — Molly Kieltyka, Randi Dennett, Sydney Burgoyne.Key losses: Girls: Anna Doyle, Molly Lindsey.

Prom ising newcomers : Boys : Junior — Dylan Berney; Freshmen — Ben Allen, Isaac Johnson, Nick Charest; Girls: Freshman — Teresa Easterbrook.Overview: Lindsey expects the boys to be competitive in a tough MVC field. Souza was the Ramblers’ No. 1 last year, and Hachey, Berney and A l len should round out a

solid top four. Kieltyka was 14th in Western C as a freshman and should qualify for states again.C o a c h’s c om me nt : “ I t h i n k Molly is going to be one of the top runners, and then it’s a matter of conditioning and how everyone survives.” – Coach Jay Lindsey

Coach: Travis Magnusson (second year)Last year’s record: 7-5-1, lost in Western D quarterfinalReturning players : Seniors — Austin Dooley (MF), Trevor Averill (F), A la n Hedrick (MF), Cody Barker (FB); Junior — Garrett Hamann (FB); Sophomores — Kyle Cabe (FB); Jacob Kimball (FB), Jacob Marin Moody (FB).Key losses: Cam Allen (MF), Devon Carlile (FB), Derick Belanger (FB), Jack Adams (FB), Kasey Robertson (MF).Promising newcomers: Seniors — A lex Beda rd (MF), Morga n Leuck (MF), Chase Barnes (FB/G); Juniors — Scott Pierce (MF), Dustin

Damon (MF); Freshmen — Jesse Warren (FB), Calvin Downey (G), Scott Wheeler (FB), Brian Casey (MF).Overview: The Bucks lost in the regional quarterfinals in overtime last fall and have a solid core back from that club. There are three players who scored more than nine goals and an experienced group up front with Dooley, Averill, Hedrick and Marin Moody leading the way. There is also some veteran leadership back on defense with Ba rker, Ha m m a n, C a be a nd Kimball.Coach’s comment: ”We have a lot of new faces this year that have not played soccer before, but are good athletes. If we can come together, we should be a tough team. We have

some guys that can really score. Combined with physical play, we should be fun to watch. We are all very excited about the season.” – Coach Travis Magnusson

Coach: Jamie Henderson (second year)Last year’s record: Fourth in EWCReturning players : Senior — Cai lt in Henderson; Junior — Dalton Hart; Sophomore — Owen Bennett.Promising newcomer : Jona h Williams.Outlook: The Bucks had a solid fourth-place showing a year ago, and with a good piece of their lineup back, should make a run at the top of the conference this season.Coach’s comment: “A lot of young players got some good experience last year so I’m looking for the team to compete for the top spot this year.”– Coach Jamie Henderson

Coach: Jim Aylward (23rd year)Last year’s record: 12-0, won Class

B state championshipReturning players : Seniors — Ryan Glover (G/LB), Izaak Mills

(RB/LB), Taylor Carey (TE/DE), Devon Hamel (OL/DL), Justin White (T/DT), Nate Nicols (OL/DL), Matt Hosie (RB/ILB), Zach Radcliffe (QB/DB); Juniors — Tony Whalen (QB/CB), Tyler Sturtevant (FB/OLB).Key losses: Cameron Kaubris (QB/S), Josh A l len (FB/LB), Christ ian Durland (TE/DE), Taylor Bradley (TB/DB), Ben Higley (T/DE), Tyler Mason (TB/DB).Promising newcomers: Seniors — Isaac Roberts (E/DB), Kyle Duguay (TB/OLB).Overview: This is not the first time the Falcons have lost a lot of big names to graduation and still been a preseason favorite in Class B. They still have a rugged defense,

led by Ryan Glover, one of the best two-way players in the state. The offensive line is experienced, and Radcliffe is a dependable decision-maker under center. Hosie and Duguay take over the tai lback dut ies a nd w i l l cont i nue t he Falcons’ tradition of physical ball-carriers.

Coach’s comment : “We k now we have x amount of kids who can play. It’s just putting them in a position to be successful.” – Coach Jim Aylward

Coach: Julie Wescott (first year)Last year’s record: 8-6Returning players: Seniors — Angel Strout (F), Lindsey Whitney (F), Devon Brewer (G), Jessica Campbell (MF); Juniors — Bailey Madore (D); Sophomores — Bailey Cutler (MF), Olivia Harrington (F), Hanna Jordan (F), Jenn Smith (MF).

Key losses: Makayla Stevens, Allicyn Fitzgerald, Meghan Craig, Heather Budesheim, Crystal Ingerson.Promising newcomers: Seniors — Bri Moore (G), Kimber Morse (MF); Junior — Luci Charest; Sophomores — Nichole Jones (MF), Mariah Breton (D), Chelsey Harrington (D); Freshmen — Molly Nicholson (F), Allie Bubar (F), Michaela Bedell (MF), Ari Kahler (F), Mia Durgin (MF).Outlook: The Greyhounds lost a good chunk of power up the middle, but there is a solid core of players returning, as well. The team has its

sights set pretty high, and has built a solid base over the years. A large group of newcomers will helps bolster the team down the stretch.

Coach’s comment: ”This is a great group of hard working kids who improve by the day. Our goal as a team is to take each game as it comes

and work for our long-term goal, the playoffs.”– Coach Julie Wescott

Buckfield GolfPromising newcomers : Senior — Brianna Darling (FB); Junior — Jessica Cooper (MF); Sophomores — Gabby Theriault (MF), Allanah Knox (MF); Freshman — Nadia Wesley (F).Outlook: The Bucks have much of their team back from last year. Bragg and Patrie are both four-year starters. Casey and Damon anchor the defense while Campbell, Boutin, Strout, Rines and Warren help make for a solid midfield. Wesley could come in and add some punch up front. The Bucks should be a solid and experience foe and should improve on last year.Coach’s comment: “We will once again be a defensive-minded team, but I feel we have some experienced players in the midf ield, which should provide us with more scoring opportunities. How well we convert on the opportunities will determine how successful we will be.” – Coach Chris Aube

Shaw n Ben net t (SK ), Nat ha n Fitzpatrick (FB).Key losses: Zach Taylor (SW), David Widger (FB), Eric Billings (FB).Promising newcomers: Juniors — Simon Jensen (FB), Jan Fillies (FB); Freshmen — Gage Welch (FB), Corbin Arsenault (SK), Jared Arsenault (MF), Logan Benedix (FB), Christopher Bourret (MF), Tyler Giambattista (MF), Jacob Simard (FB), Conner Woods (MF), Tucker Phelps (SK), Brad Marshall (MF), Thomas Marshall

(MF), Cory Cochran (SK), Allen Cormier (SK), Dakota Jacques (G), Tucker Rowland (FB).Outlook: The Falcons only lost five players to graduation and return the bulk of their lineup, including Glover, an all-MVC midfielder last year. Mou nt a i n Va l le y a l so ha s 17 ne w players, including 15 freshmen. That

gives the Falcons experience, depth and hopes of great improvement this season.Coach’s comment: “With a lot of young players to challenge and push the older guys, this should be more than a building year. I expect this team to play smart soccer, and to grow into a smart, quick group of players. We expect to hold our own in the MVC this year.” – Coach Jarrod Dumas

Coach: Tim Straub (seventh year)Last year’s record: 2nd in EWCReturning players: Seniors — Daren Jannace, Hudson Deraps, Eric White; Juniors — Sam Straub, Olivia Jannace.Key losses: Regan Sargent, Jordan Richard, George Seaman.Promising newcomers: Juniors —

Gabrielle Cavalier, Abby Abbott; Freshmen — River Roy, Elijah Hall, Mason Cavalier.Outlook: This ‘coming in second’ stuff is getting old for the Lakers, and they are really hoping this might be t he year to get past Greenv i l le in t he w ide-spread conference. There is a good nucleus of returners, and a solid inf lux of newcomers to help this team

achieve that goal. Daren Jannace, Sam Straub and White should be the leaders this season.Coach’s comment: ”The kids have been playing well this summer and the course we play at, Mingo Springs, has been great working w ith us. We need to put it a l l together and hopefully we can get past that nemesis this year.”– Coach Tim Straub

This year’s Mountain Valley Falcons, who are primed to make a run at the MVC title. Almost every positional starter

returns, as does keeper Emily Gallant. The Falcons are senior-heavy and are going to be a force in

the conference.Coach’s comment: ”We’re f ine-tuning now, and getting in shape,

trying to straighten a few things out. We do have high expectations this year.” – Coach Melissa Forbes

season. Scar y, considering the Ramblers allowed only 19 goals all season a year ago.Coach’s comment: ”We have some big holes to fill, but I’m optimistic that we will be able to do that if everyone stays healthy.”– Coach Sharon Coulton

of experienced players back from last year and could help make the Lakers formidable in Western D once again.Coach’s comment: ”We are still in the process of forming our team, but the new and returning players I do have are working hard to get ready for another exciting season of soccer. We are fortunate to have

so many dedicated players who love the game of soccer and who show such tenacity day after day in training. In addition, our new players will help strengthen our defense. I am very excited about this team and the season ahead.” – Coach Georgia Campbell

Sophomores — Katie Collette (MF), Jena Plourde (G), Marissa Martel (MF/FB); Freshman — Sarah Klein (MF/F).Outlook: Gallant and Paterson were both all-conference players. Still, the Falcons return seven that saw starting time last year with

Briggs, Ford, Glover, LaPointe, Ridge, Day and Koch al l back. LaPointe a lso earned a l l-M VC honors. Between an experienced group of upperclassmen and a significant number of newcomers, the Falcons are poised to improve on last year.

Mt. Abram has lost in the first round the last two seasons despite winning records. This group has

played together for some time and hopes to change that luck in the tournament.Coach’s comment: “I look for this team to show maturity and work hard. They have been snake-bit in the playoffs the last two years and are looking to improve this time around.” – Coach Mark Lopez

Out look : T he Road r u n ner s, hoping to improve on last year, have a solid group returning. Mt. Abram graduated talent, including an MVC all-star in McCafferty, but return eight starters. Daly was an all-state defender. If the team can avoid further injury, the Roadrunners could make some strides.

Fenstermacher (T/LB).Promising newcomers: Juniors — Nick Young (RB/CB), Justin Dowland (RB/LB), Reilly Lombardi (SE/CB)).Overview: With a new coach and

lights installed at Harlow Park, moving the home games to Friday nights, it’s a new era at Dirigo. Crutchfield takes over for Doug Gilbert after spending the last five years as an assistant coach.

four as the defensive coordinator. Holmes is more comfortable as the signal-caller with one year of varsity experience under his belt. Blackman missed last season with an Achilles tendon tear and joins

with Dowland to give the Cougars a formidable 1-2 punch in the running game.Coach’s comment: “As long as we jell at the right time, we’ll be alright.” – Coach Dave Crutchfield

Coach: Jack Rioux (second year)Last year’s record: 10-3-2, lost in Western C quarterfinal.Returning players : Seniors — Cody St. Germain (MF), Jeremy Briggs (FB), Josh Turbide (FB), Caleb Turner (G), Garret Carver (FB); Juniors — Chad Snowman (F), Trav is Frost (MF), Trevor Newman (MF), Michael Chow (G), Hunter Ross (F), Loren Keim (F); Sophomores — Brian Volkernick (FB), Trevor Statham (F).Key losses: Travis Willis (FB), Nick Harlow (MF), Joel Cloutier (FB), Alex

Milledge (MF).Promising newcomers: Sophomore — Sawyer Smith (MF); Freshman — Yossapat Chanarune (F).Overview: The Cougars have much of the team back that f inished

fourth overall in Western C. St. Ger ma in a nd Ross were bot h all-conference players last year, while St. Germain was also an all-state pick. With much of its defense returning and two of their

top scorers back, there’s plenty of talent and experience to keep the Cougars among the top teams in the MVC and Western C this fall.Coach’s comment: “This year, we are looking to build on the success

we had last year. We have a lot of returning players and a great senior class leading the way. “ – Coach Jack Rioux

The Cougars

had a successful campaign a year ago with the minimum five golfers on the squad, and the same will hold true this season. Two of the team’s better golfers are gone, replaced by new seniors. It may take the first half of the short season to acclimate the newcomers to competitive golf, but by tourney time, they expect to be back in the hunt for a playoff position.Coach’s comment: ”I’d like to see us make a fairly deep run in the playoffs this year.” – Coach Seth Fournier

Coach: Art Chamberlin (18th year)Last year’s record: 10-4-1, lost in Western C quarterfinal.Returning players : Seniors — Larissa Bryant (F), Alyssa Wade (MF), Paige Murphy (F), Miranda Shurt lef f (MF), Mariah Larsen (FB); Juniors — Ambyr Wilson (ST), Silvia Lutick (F), Michelle Morrison (MF), Kayla Gaudin (FB), Natasha Deroche (G), Gretchen Bradbury

Out look : The Couga rs ret u r n almost the entire team from last year, including an all-state player in Bolduc. Larsen is back after missing all of last year because of an injury. Dirigo should be strong on defense and has Deroche back in goal. The offense should continue to evolve and make the Cougars one of the better clubs in the MVC. Dirigo has lost on penalty kicks in the last two tournaments and hope to get over that hurdle this year.

Coach’s comment: “To go deeper into t he playof f s t h i s s e a s o n , w e w i l l need to continue to play good defense a n d i m p r o v e o f f e n s i v e l y.

Ellsworth have plenty of practice putting the ball in the cage, and Merrill will be solid through the middle.C oa ch’s c om ment : ”L o ok i ng

Coach: Chris Albert (first year)Last year’s record: 7-7-1, lost in Western B quarterfinalsReturning players : Seniors — Jamiel Kidd (MF), Caleb Meservy (SK), Kenyon Fraser (ST); Juniors — Cody Rolston (SW), Dalton Burns (SK), Logan Gardner (FB/MF).Key losses: Ben Daggett (MF), Brian Bradstreet (SW), Sam Hatch (FB), Danny Tucker (FB), Adam Beaulieu (F), Tyler Pelletier (G).Promising newcomers: Juniors — Trevor Sampson (MF), Sam Morin

(G), Sean Deans (MF), Aust in Posnick (FB); Sophomores — Adam Priest (FB), Kyle Ridley (SK), Riley Adams (SK), Zach Perham (MF); Freshmen — Kam Doyon (MF/SK), Matthew Shedd (MF), Jonathon Harper (SK), Austin Dube (FB), Kyle Field (FB), Caleb Sturtevant (MF).Outlook: The Raiders lost a solid group of seniors but return an all-state midfielder in Kidd. With him in the midfield and some veteran forwards returning, the Raiders should have some punch up front. The defense should be solid as

well. There’s a lot of incoming talent stepping into new roles, and Albert didn’t take over the program until August. So Oak Hill will have some adjustments early but could build a team that could challenge for a tourney berth.Coach’s comment: “We w il l be a competitive team in the conference this year with a solid core of experienced players. We are a very young and relatively inexperienced, but guys will step up as needed and perform at a high level. Our team will be a tough

team to play. It could be a good year if we play our cards rights.” – Coach Chris Albert

Coach: Nicole Camire (first year)Last year’s record: 8-6-1, lost in Western B quarterfinalReturning players : Seniors — Ma r r issa Cask in (MF), Da rby Beaulieu (F), Jane Marston (FB), Leah Rossi (FB); Juniors — Megan Rodrigue (FB), Gabby Green (F), Brooke Lebel (MF), Amanda Bloss (MF), Alyssa Rouleau (F), Julie Morneault (F).

Key losses: Abby Goulet (F), Becca Belaire (F), Hannah Langlois (FB), Katie Wood (FB)Promising newcomers: Juniors — Desiree Johns (G), Kayla Ross (MF); Sophomore — Kelsey Collins (G), Sarah Carpenter (FB); Freshmen — Toni Hart (FB), Vanessa Wright (MF).Outlook: The Raiders lost some experienced talent, including all-conference defenders in Langlois and Wood. Still, there’s a strong returning group that was a key part

of the Raiders run to the playoffs last fall after many near-misses in prev ious seasons. Beaulieu is a threat up front after playing mostly in the goal last year. There’s experience in the midfield and on defense as well.Coach’s comment: “Expect a good passing team with a very strong defense. We look for midfielders to control the pace of the game and feed accurate strikers. We have a very deep team. We should be able to keep fresh feet on the

field without sacrificing talent.” – Coach Nicole Camire

Coach: Mike Pelletier (seventh year)Last year’s record: 1-9

Returning players : Seniors — Alexis Priest, Casey Vachon, Josh Ma r t in; Jun ior — Oleg Wing; Sophomores — Jacob Ma r t in, Connor Keene, Dan Woodard.Key losses : Will Aronson, Rick

Ribera.Promising newcomers: Freshmen — C a meron Ay re s, Mat t he w Arnold, Matthew Gilbert, Jacob Bannister.Outlook: The Raiders are still very

young and are looking to gain some ex perience. Indiv idua l ly, Josh Martin is a solid No. 1, and Priest is looking to qualify for the girls’ state championship for the fourth consecutive season. The Raiders

have a good young base to build on.Coach’s comment: ” Our season will come down to how they adjust to playing competitive golf.”– Coach Mike Pelletier

The junior class played a key role in reaching the semifinals last year, and the hope

is to take the next step in 2011. DePuy and Wells give them big-play ability, while Collingwood gives them size in the backfield. They will be running behind a veteran line, the team’s strength.

Asselin took a number of snaps, including a couple of starts, as a freshman. They expect to be able to give opponents different looks defensively.Coach’s comment: “We’re pretty

sound defensively. We were pretty sound last year and I don’t expect a ny t hing di f ferent t his yea r.” – Coach Dave Wing

Key losses: Collin Dudley (MF), Shane Waters (MF), Josh Christy (MF), Der ick Fogg (FB), Sa m Larivee (FB), Tyler Myers (FB).Promising newcomers: Senior — Richard Bryant (F).Outlook: Wright returns to the Knights after a stint at Leavitt. He coached Poland during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. With three wins

last year, the program made a step forward, and the Knights hope to bui ld on t hat a nd continue to improve.C oa ch’s c om me nt : “ T he program has made progress in the past two years, but we still have a lot of work to do to be a competitive team in WMC. The focus for this year is on developing indiv idual players within a team concept, improving the quality of soccer we play as a team and become a

Spiller and Turton were both all-WMC players

last fall. Poland faces a tough WMC schedule, but hope to pick up enough wins to draw a tourney spot.Coach’s comment: “We will compete for a playoff spot in Western B. We have good team speed and our two top scorers from last year return. If we play well in front of our f resh ma n keeper, we w i l l su r pr ise some tea m s a nd get i nto t he tou r na ment.” – Coach Aaron Rand

Freshmen — Amanda Dube (MF), Ainsley Parent (F), Abbie L’Italien (D), Kelsey DeBurra (MF/F).Outlook: Poland anticipates a competitive season. One of the team’s stated goals is to improve up front and put more balls into the cage. The team will rely on the fresh talent, combined with seasoned leadership. Led by co-captains King and Brousseau (junior), the Knights return nine starters to the lineup. Freshman Amanda Dube and Abbie L’Italien bring speed and athleticism and will be added to the starting lineup. Strong goaltending by L av oie a nd Gre gor y w i l l

Bra ndon Drot ta r (HB), Edd ie Ada ms ( W R), Nelson Goyet te (OL/DL); Sophomores — Everett Ber t r a nd ( OL B ), Sa m Sc a le s (center), Sam Bridgham (OL).Overview: Poland appeared to turn a corner in October 2010, playing some of the best football in its short history as a program and putting together a pair of impressive wins late in the season. Add the move from Class B to Class C and the christening of lights at their field, and the Knights won’t lack inspiration this fall. Tibbetts,

a for mer Pola nd a ssista nt who has coached with Maine legends John Wolfgram and Mike Landry, is excited about his team’s work ethic. Poland will be a younger team this season, and some of its best athletes will be adapting to new positions. A top-eight f inish and the first-ever playoff berth would represent great progress.Coach’s comment: “I see a rea l commitment to ta k ing care of the details.

Promising newcomers : Matt D u n n , Ne v i n R a n d , Jo e y Pelletier, Coady Lagasse.Outlook: With the entire varsity team from a year ago essentially gone, the Knights are in rebuild mode. Transfer Dunn could make waves in individual state qualifying, but otherwise the goal this year at Poland will be to work on the next cycle.

Coach’s comment: ”We have lower expectations regarding team wins and qualifying. We’re building for the future with only two seniors on the roster.” – Coach Dan Novak

Coach: Marc Fortin (ninth year)Last year’s record: 2-12Returning players : Seniors — A my Bela nger, A l ison Skera k, Lauren Selwood, Corena Richards; Juniors — Danielle Pease, Amber Pritchard, Caitlin Allen, Breanna C o x ; S op h om or e s — O l i v i a Tsoupra ke, Abby Helm, Krissy Doughty, Collette Connor.Key losses: Grace Burnett (SW),

Grace Lemieux (MF), Karen Rice (F), Lindsay Phillips (FB), Sarah Hignet (MF), Vanessa Berry (MF), Kelsie Nason (FB).P r o m i s i n g n e w c o m e r s : Freshmen — Hailey Eason, Annie Guerette, Nicole MacMillan, Lilly Beau rega rd, Ch r ist i na Sm it h, Trisha Wilson.Outlook: The Ramblers have a solid group of returning players back and add 14 freshmen to the program. That should allow Winthrop to not

only improve upon last year, but build a formidable club for the future.

Coach: Sean Galipeau-Eldridge (10th year)

Returning players: Boys: Seniors — Ja ke MacDon a ld, C on nor Pinkham, Juniors — Jeremy Doane, Tyler Hemond, Ben Letourneau, Ian Pickett, Taylor Wood; Girls: Senior — Miranda Gile; Sophomores — Anna Poirier, Renee Reid.Key losses: Girls: Kendra Lobley,

Julia Krueger.Promising newcomers : Boys : Freshmen — Chris Lobley, Jeremy Sampson; Girls: Senior —Amanda Gagnon; Sophomores — Amanda Ku y k end a l l , A n it a D e s t r i n i ; Freshmen — Hannah Belanger, Hope Kohtala, Krist ina Smith, Whisper Waite.Overview: The Knights open a new home course in Minot with reason for optimism on both teams. The boys return a core of experienced upperclassmen led by MacDonald and Pinkham. The junior class could make major strides this season. Gi le hopes to emerge stronger from an injury-plagued junior season and form a top pair of front runners with Gagnon, who could make an immediate splash.

Coach’s comment : “Ma ny a re not ac c u s tome d to t he f i v e k i lometer distance, so we w il l spend some t i me bu i ld i ng a base a nd teaching t he basics of st rong d ista nce r u n n i ng.” – Coach Sean Galipeau-Eldridge

Coach: Lonney Steeves (fourth year)Last year’s record: N/A (no team)Returning players: Senior — Tyler Foster.Key losses: N/A.P r o m i s i n g n e w c o m e r s :

S op h om or e — Z a c h S t e e l e ; Freshmen — Taylor Morang, Adam Hachey. Monmout h Academy golfers practicing with Winthrop: Sophomore — Robert Vickerson; Freshmen — D.J. McHugh, Joe Manduce.Outlook: In every head-to-head

match, Winthrop, which has at least partially resurrected its team, will give away a point due to the fact that the Ramblers have only four golfers. However, talent will outweigh the lack of depth on many occasions, and the MVC will once again have to pay attention to this

young group.Coach’s comment: “I would hope we could at least make it to the semifinals during the year, and possibly qualify for team states and have one or two make the state individual tournament.”– Coach Lonney Steeves

Coach: Greg Luetje (second year)Last year’s record: 8-5-2, lost in Western C quarterfinalReturning players : Seniors — Ca sey T hor nton ( MF), Ja mes Piccirillo (FB), Trenton Bonney (FB), Tyler Brown (F); Juniors —

Dav id Mason (F), Rick y James (G/MF), Michael Del Duca(MF), Hunter Chase (MF); Sophomores — Eric Lowell (F), Tyler James (FB), Nicholas Johnson (F), Travis Brown (F), Nikolas Conrad (F).Key losses: Elek Pew (FB), Daniel Vaughn (G), Josh Bellinger (FB), Dusty Bailey (FB).Promising newcomers: Senior — Matt Bolen; Freshmen — Liam Gallagher, Joseph Putnam, Aaron Speakman.Outlook: The Rebels graduated

four M VC a l l-sta rs in Pew, Vaughn, Bellinger and Bailey. That leaves a significant void for some younger players to fill. There’s some returning talent here, but it will take time for players to adjust to new roles.Coach’s comment: ”We a re a young team that’s building on our strengths and working on our weak points. We have a very competitive schedule and are looking forward to the challenge.” – Coach Greg Luetje
