Spring Sports Preview

BY KEVIN ROUSSEAUCorrespondent

The preseason hasbeen a challenge fortennis teams, butmany local schoolsare optimistic

because of large turnouts and tal-ented returning stars.

Cony High School finished 10-2last season and returns 2010Kennebec Journal Player of theYear Taylor Edmondson, as well assenior Nicole Kirschner.Edmondson moves up to No. 1this season after two undefeatedregular seasons at No. 2.

The Rams have 36 players ontheir roster, meaning coach CarolPateneaude has a lot of talent tochoose her starting seven from.

“Many of the girls are workinghard to improve their game,”Pateneaude said. “This should bea fun season.”

Mt. Blue’s roster features anumber of seniors, including sin-gles players Lena Kendall andElizabeth LeClair. The Cougarshad 41 players come out for theteam this spring and hope tomake the Eastern A playoffs afterfinishing 7-5 last spring.

At Messalonskee, senior PaigeOliver will step into the No. 1 sin-gles spot after playing No. 3 a yearago. The Eagles must fill in forgraduates Audrey Knowlton andErin Chapin, who both reachedthe individual qualifier last sea-son.

“It’s going to come down toplaying smart and consistent,”Messalonskee coach CarolineMathes said. “I’m not going tohave a power player like Audreythis year.”

Junior Amanda Quirion willplay No. 1 singles for a Skowheganteam that coach Andrew Staplessays is motivated after winningtwo matches last season.

At Mt. Abram, new coach JamieBandershall has three returnersand seven newcomers. TheRoadrunners finished 9-3 a yearago and will look to junior StaciPlog for leadership.

Oak Hill (11-1 last season) hasmade it to the Western B finalsthe last two seasons only to lose toperennial powerhouse Falmouthon both occasions. With five

returners, including four seniors,perhaps this is the year that theRaiders break through. SeniorHannah Langlois advanced in thesingles tournament last season.

Last year, Maranacook went 9-3and reached the Western B semifi-nals. Junior Adrienne Nel playstennis year-round and will be avaluable piece of the Black Bearteam this spring. Nel moves upfrom No. 3 to No. 1 this season.

“She’s a pretty solid player butit’s a big step up form third singlesto first singles,” Winthrop coachLouis Gingras said.

New coach Jill Cristan is nostranger to the Waterville tennisprogram. She coached thePanthers junior varsity team forsix seasons. The Panthers have astrong group of freshmen whocould contribute right away.

Winslow, meanwhile, lost twoof seven starters from last season.Jessica McCaslin will likely playNo. 1 for the Black Raiders.

In the Mountain ValleyConference, Hall-Dale went 10-2last season but lost five of sevenstarters from that team. JuniorWendy Goldman returns at No. 1singles. She beat all but one of heropponents last spring, Winthrop’sKelsey Ouellette, who graduated.

At Monmouth, senior TaylorScott moves from No. 3 singles toNo. 1. Juniors Molly Plossay andBrittany Roberts will likely fill theother two singles spots for theMustangs.

Winthrop lost its top two sin-

gles players, Ouellette and ElaineTheriault, and have just threestarters returning. There will beplenty of competition betweenMolly Lindsey, Amber Pritchard,Jessica Scott and Emma Spahr forthe top three singles spots.

Travis Rogers takes over ayoung Madison team which hasjust one senior and one junior onits roster.

Kents Hill returns seven play-ers from last year's team thatwon the MAISAD championshipand should dominate again thisspring. The Huskies landedElena Mandzhukova who playedfor Brunswick High School lastyear and won the MPA singlestournament. Mandzhukova willbe playing tennis at Bates nextyear.

2010 STATE CHAMPS

Local teams havegood turnout

BY KEVIN ROUSSEAUCorrespondent

Mo n m o u t hAcademy reachedthe last twoWestern MaineClass C finals, but

its two of the Mustangs’ rivals whocould make a run at the MountainValley Conference title this sea-son.

Winthrop is one of the teamsthat could challenge for a title.The Ramblers went 12-0 last sea-son before losing to Madison, 3-2,in the Western Maine Class Cquarterfinals. The Ramblers haveall seven starters returning thisseason.

“We have everyone returningand we got some new players whoadd some depth,” Winthrop No. 1singles player Adam St. Pierresaid.

St. Pierre added a kick serve andis more confident about his back-hand this season. He is joined bysenior Evan Arbour and juniorDan Miles in the singles lineup.

Hall-Dale, meanwhile, has twoformidable singles players inbrothers Joseph and SpencerShagoury. The Bulldogs went 10-2last season before losing toMonmouth in the Western Csemifinals.

“We feel like we kept enoughdepth to be competitive in thesingles matches,” JosephShagoury said. “We have experi-ence at the top and a lot of skill atthe bottom of the roster.”

Monmouth went 12-0 in theregular season last spring, but lostits top four players to graduation.

Madison went 8-4 last season,reaching the Western C semifi-nals. The Bulldogs, however,return only two starters from lastseason. Luke Klinker moves upfrom second singles to the No. 1spot.

In Class B, Maranacook gradu-ated just one senior from a teamthat went 6-6 last season inWestern B. The Black Bears havedepth, with 13 players on the ros-ter. Senior Sean Daigle moves upto No. 1 singles.

“(Sean) is sometimes too hardon himself,” Maranacook coachMike Morin said. “He has highexpectations for himself.”

Waterville, meanwhile, hasn’thad a losing season in 16 springsand there is no reason to believethat streak will end this spring.Senior Marcus Godin will likelyplay No. 1 singles for the PurplePanthers, while senior ThomasGreenspan and junior CallumThomas will likely fill the othertwo singles spots.

“The first three players areinterchangeable,” Watervillecoach Jim Begin said. “My goal

realistically is to go 9-3 or 10-2. Ifwe do that, we’ll put ourselves in agood position.”

Brian Bradstreet returns at No.1 singles for Oak Hill after win-ning a match in the singles tour-nament last spring. He is joinedby seniors Joe Turcotte and JackChampagne in the singles line-up.

Gardiner must replaceKennebec Journal Boys TennisPlayer of the Year Jared

Hornecker, who graduated. TheTigers competed in Class B forthe first time last spring andearned the No. 1 seed in WesternB, losing to eventual state champCape Elizabeth in the regional

semis. Seniors Isaac Luken and sopho-

more Justin Ladnar will man thetop two singles spots for arebuilding Gardiner team.

“I’m not worried about winsand losses this year,” Gardinercoach Rob Disch said. “My goal isto get my guys playing and devel-oping for the future.”

Mt. Blue, a club team four sea-sons ago, qualified for the EasternA tournament last spring. TheCougars lost two state tourna-ment qualifiers, Matt St. John andNick Wilkins, to graduation.Senior Seth Wegner and juniorJake Veayo will be asked to fill thevoid.

Messalonskee has some depth,with 18 players on the team.Sophomore Jai Aslam or juniorChris Knight will likely man theNo. 1 singles spot.

Jeff Fowler takes over the ConyRams program from Tom Hindswho coached the program forseven seasons.

Senior Dylan Rich has a 25-1record for Kents Hill over the lasttwo seasons and has won theMaine Association ofIndependent Schools AthleticDirectors title both seasons.Seniors Brendan Keating and TimFirestone return this year afterwinning the MAISAD doubleschampionship last season.

No team looks like arunaway favorite inthe Kennebec ValleyAthletic Conference’sClass A division this

season, although the usual sus-pects — Bangor and Brewer —should be among the top teams inthe north division.

After a strong run the past threeseasons, Cony may take a stepback. Lewiston will be favored inthe southern division of the KVACbased on returning talent, but theRams still return enough to con-tend. Luke Duncklee, CoreyLapierre, Colin McKee and NickLucas all started for the Rams lastseason and are strong hitters andfielders.

The big question is what willthe Rams have on the mound.Junior Ryan Edwards and sopho-more Zac Lachance saw limitedaction last year but will be count-ed upon for big innings thisspring. Duncklee and McKee willpitch in relief while Tyler Lewisand Chandler Shostak are battlingfor the No. 3 starter spot.

“It’s a big change from what wehad last year,” Cony coach DonPlourde said. “We don’t have thepop we had last year so we’regoing to have to do things differ-ently.”

Messalonskee has one of thebest players in the state in short-stop Sam Dexter, who moves overfrom second base this season. TheEagles also return catcher JustinTinsman, utility man ParkerForsley, and Gage and JoshLandry.

The big question mark for theEagles is pitching. Coach RayBernier has a number of pitchershe can use, just few with varsityexperience.

“We have kids who are ready totake the challenge. We just have tocoach them well,” Bernier said.

At Lawrence, first-year coachRusty Mercier has plenty of pitch-ers with varsity experience,including Blair Blaisdell, MikeCapponi and Alex Leathers.Shawn Russell, a hard-throwinglefty, had arm surgery in the fall

and should be able to rejoin therotation.

“He worked all winter to comeback strong,” Mercier said.

The Bulldogs have one of thetop catchers in the league in sen-ior Matt Woodbury. Senior XaviereScott is playing baseball for thefirst time since eighth grade, andwill provide speed in the outfield.

After an 0-7 start, a youngSkowhegan team showedimprovement and went 5-4 downthe stretch last season. TheIndians are young again this sea-son, with just six returning play-ers.

“Youth is the word of 2011,”Skowhegan coach Rick York said.“We’ve got some quality youngkids, but not much varsity experi-ence.”

Junior first baseman IsaacWacome is the top returning hit-ter. He hit .382 last season. Seniorleft fielder Sebastian Dumontreturns, and sophomore catcherHenry Ametti is back after startinghis freshman season.

Newcomers Cody Moody,Derek McCarty, Kameron Nelson,and Taylor Bacon are expected tolead the pitching staff.

Mt. Blue has the makings of asolid pitching staff, with seniors

Jimmy Neal and Dylan Vining,along with juniors Nick Hiltonand Blake Hart. However, Viningis coming off an arm injury thatkept him off the mound last sea-son, and coach Dan Stefaniloisn’t sure how much Vining willthrow.

“He’ll start in the bullpen,”Stefanilo said. “I’m not sure whatwe can expect, innings-wise.”

Senior Clint Lowe returns atsecond base for the Cougars.Bradley Jackson and Matt Crowleyalso will find spots in the Mt. Bluelineup.

Despite going 1-15 last season,Erskine could be a dark horse thisspring. The Eagles return threestarting pitchers in Tyler Belanger,Jory Humphrey and Shyler Scatesand have a quality closer in short-stop Ryan Pulver. In all, theyreturn 11 players from last seasonand have some quality bats inCaleb Bragg-Grady, Tom Grady,Pulver and Scates.

“We’re solid defensively,”Erskine coach Lars Jonassen said.“Our problem (last year) was scor-ing runs.”

Jonassen hopes a strongAmerican Legion campaign frommany of his players last summerwill carry over to this season.

“Just in a few weeks I’ve noticedthe maturity level is different,”Jonassen said. “We’re competitiveat every position.”

The Eagles are the only team inthe KVAC without a division andonce again play every team in theconference at least once.

After winning its first-ever baseball statechampionship lastseason, Watervillemight not have to

wait too long for a second. ThePurple Panthers have the pitchingand hitting to repeat and are thefavorites in the Kennebec ValleyAthletic Conference’s Class B divi-sion this season if not the state.Regional champ Cape Elizabeth,Yarmouth and Lincoln Academyare the leading contenders inWestern Maine.

With five players back whostarted last season’s state champi-onship game, Waterville is thefavorite in the KVAC B again.

The Panthers are led by seniorsKyle Bishop, Tim Locke, and CamSawyer. All three are four-yearstarters, and Bishop and Lockewent a combined 16-0 on themound last season, including 4-0in the playoffs. They’ll be joinedby either junior J.T. Whitten, him-self a three-year starter at firstbase, or sophomore TylerBouchard in the rotation.

Sawyer, Waterville’s secondbaseman, will hit leadoff for thePanthers. Bouchard takes over atshortstop, and sophomoreRacean Wood and freshmanAiden Fitzgerald, who started anumber of games for theWaterville American Legion teamlast summer, are vying for thecatcher’s spot.

Last season, Waterville madejust 14 errors in 20 games.Defense will again be key.

“We have to make the routineplays, that’s all you can ask, andmake outs,” Waterville coach DonSawyer said.

Gardiner returns a good groupof athletes led by pitcher SpencerAllen and catcher Mike Phelps,both seniors. The Tigers expect tobe strong defensively while theoffense has plenty of hitters if nota lot of power. The key questionwill be developing a couple ofpitchers to complement Allen.

Dennis Meehan and JoshOuellette are competing for theNo. 2 spot in the rotation whileAaron Toman and Ian Lane willsee action on the mound as well.

Winslow has a new coach, KyleGunzinger, and returns a talentedcore of players who helped theBlack Raiders win 12 games lastseason. Three-year starter andconference selection John

McCabe returns at catcher, wherehe was one of the league’s top hit-ters last season.

Jordan Holt, Zach Carey andDonald Camp are the top return-ing pitchers, although Gunzingerexpects to use a number of play-ers on the hill.

“We’re going to try and limitwear and tear on arms by usingmore than one kid (each game),”Gunzinger said.

Camp returns at shortstop,while MacKenzie Michaud movesfrom the outfield to second base.Kris Smith is back at third for theBlack Raiders.

Maranacook has a young teamand an enthusiastic coach inalumnus Jared Lemieux. TheBlack Bears return six players ledby junior pitcher Eben Ballardand shortstop Dakota Duplissie.Lemieux is auditioning a numberof pitchers for the No. 2 spot andbeyond. Their development willbe the key to the team’s success.

“I’m pretty confident in whatwe have,” Lemieux said. “I think ifwe get our minds straight we canput together a pretty potentoffense.”

Oak Hill coach Chad Drouin hasconfidence in his four man pitchingstaff led by junior Josh Martin. CraigMorrill is the team’s top returninghitter and this season moves fromcenter field to shortstop. CodyProvost will take over in centerwhen he’s not on the mound.

“Defensively, especially in theoutfield, we’re going to be verysolid,” Drouin said. “Offensively,we’ve got three hitters that areproven.”

Last season was a season of

improvement at Nokomis. TheWarriors won five games after awinless 2009. Now, with a numberof players back, coach JaredFoster feels his team can make arun at a playoff spot.

“If not, it will be a disappoint-ment,” Foster said.

The Warriors have a pair of solidpitchers in lefty Jared Seamansand Justin Amoroso. Hitting couldbe a concern, Foster said, butshortstop Spencer Hartsgrove andfirst baseman/catcher JustinKasprzak should lead theNokomis offense.

Chris Hink is the fourth coachin as many years at Mt. View. Alsothe boys soccer coach at Mt. View,Hink takes over a team without

much varsity experience. Cuttingdown on walks issued and errorsis the first key to improving on lastseason’s 2-14 record.

“We have kids who can throwstrikes. That’s all I want,” Hinksaid. “I just want a chance to getouts.”

Captains Alec Davis(infield/pitcher) and CraigNealley (pitcher/outfielder) willlead the Mustangs.

MCI is coming off back-to-backone win seasons, but coach John

Dean feels the Huskies are set forimprovement.

“We have a couple of veteransand some young guys who arepleasantly surprising me now,”Dean said.

Seniors Ryan Crocker and YuyaIzumi are the top returning pitch-ers, and newcomers CodyRobbins and Dylan Watrous couldsee time on the mound. ZackFortin returns at third base, andAdam Ogden is back behind theplate for the Huskies.

St. Dominic is thefavorite in the south-ern division of theMountain ValleyConference this sea-

son based on both tradition andreturning talent. But the Saintsshould be challenged this sea-son by Winthrop and Wiscasset.In the MVC north, Telstarreturns a strong nucleus anddefending state championDirigo should also contend.

Winthrop gained valuableexperience last season whiletaking its lumps with just threewins. The Ramblers playedwithout Ryan Conant, EricDuplissis and Ryan Castonguay,all of whom were deemed ineli-gible for violating the school’sparticipation policy. All threeare back this season and willplay key roles.

Conant, who hit over .500 as asophomore, will be the team’sNo. 1 starter. Junior Tyler Reeveand senior Travis Luce bothstarted last season and will besecond and third in the rota-tion.

“We’ve got three nicestarters,” Winthrop coach MarcFortin said. “I wish we had a lit-tle more depth.”

Duplissis hit .560 as a sopho-more while Castonguay is also astrong hitter. Including thethree who missed last season,the Ramblers return 11 players.

“I think we’re going to hit theball pretty well,” Fortin said.

Hall-Dale has a new coach inSteve Acedo who coached thesoccer team last fall and was anassistant for the softball team.The Bulldogs lost six startersand don’t have a senior on theteam, but do return eight play-ers who saw action last season.

“The infield should be prettygood and the outfield is prettysolid overall,” Acedo said. “Theyshould be pretty good.”

Junior Ben Crocker and soph-omore Colin Lush are compet-ing for the top spot in the pitch-ing rotation. Crocker, who willplay shortstop when he doesn’tpitch, went 2-2 on the mound

last year and hit .333. BradShepherd, who will catch thisseason, is the only other junioron the team.

Monmouth should beimproved this season with thereturn of four seniors and the

influx of three freshmen whoplayed on a state championshipBabe Ruth team last summer,but there are still holes to fill.

“Our outfield is going to bebrand new,” Monmouth coachEric Palleschi said. “The mid-dle of the infield, I don’tknow.”

Seniors Roger Bachelder,Blake Burnham and JeremyAshlock all saw time on themound last season as did soph-omore Josh Fournier. And BillyCummings returns to catch. Ofthe 26 players who tried out forthe team, Palleschi kept fresh-men Brandon Goff, D.J.McHugh and Kyle Fletcher, allof whom can pitch and figure tocontribute.

Now in his second season,Madison coach Scott Franzosesees his team as a dark horse inthe MVC playoff race.

“Our mentality is WIN: What’sImportant Now,” Franzose said.“I think this is a talentedbunch.”

The Bulldogs have no seniorson the roster. Junior StephenCusson looks to become thestaff ace.

“He’s really worked hard onhis mound presence,” Franzosesaid.

Stephen Day will beMadison’s No. 2 starter.

Sophomore Garrett Emery willcatch and pitch, while infielderRhett McKenney is recoveringfrom an ankle injury. TravisEmerson will play short andpitch, while newcomers LoganCowan and Dustin Henry willfight for starting roles.

Mt. Abram graduated many ofthe players that helped theRoadrunners win 10 games lastseason, and former Mt. Blueassistant Lee Nile is the newhead coach.

“The good thing is, we’re anexperienced young team,” Nilesaid.

Junior Josh Beedy moves upto become the staff ace this sea-son, and Nile will fill in behindhim with a number of youngarms, including sophomore JayChenard, who started at short-stop last season.

Senior Will London and jun-iors Parker Kennedy and TrentRosenberg also return, and havesome varsity experience.

With few upperclassmen outfor baseball this season,Carrabec will play a junior var-sity schedule this spring. TheCobras plan on fielding a varsi-ty team again next year.

Despite being thesmallest baseballregion in the statewith just seventeams, Western D

has enjoyed some success inrecent seasons. Richmond is thedefending Class D state champi-ons, and Rangeley won a statetitle in 2008.

Since North YarmouthAcademy moved up to Class Cfollowing the 2005 season, eitherRichmond or Rangeley has wonthe regional title. Both should bein contention again this season,along with Greenville, last sea-son’s runner-up.

Richmond graduated severalstarters and its top two pitchersfrom last year’s state champi-onship team. This season, theBobcats are as young and inexpe-rienced as they’ve been in yearswith just one senior on themound.

Wade Tuttle is the lone seniorand he’ll be counted on to be theteam’s No. 1 pitcher and one of itstop hitters. Juniors Ben Carver,Kade Strout and Brian Snedeker,

who all saw plenty of action lastyear, move into prominent roleswith Strout taking over at short-stop and Carver moving behindthe plate. Coach Ryan Gardnerwill also have to develop morepitching from a group thatincludes Carver and sophomoresRandy Moody and TylerHarrington.

“We’re going to have to manu-facture runs, there’s not a lot ofpower there,” Gardner said. “It’sunique but these kids love toplay. I’ve seen that already.”

Last season, Rangeley had astring of four consecutiveappearances in the Western Dchampionship game snappedwith a loss to Greenville in thesemifinals. The Lakers are led byseniors Jordan Richard and ZekeHall, who will be the team’s toptwo pitchers. For Richard, it’s afamiliar role.

“Jordan, he’s definitely a key inus doing well,” Rangeley coachMark Gordon said.

Zeke Hall will be Rangeley’s No.2 pitcher and also will play centerfield. Regan Sargent is a veteranat third base, and Alex Mortonreturns as the Lakers catcher.

Forest Hills lost a key player tograduation in Cory Plante, but

the Tigers return a pair of pitch-ers — Dylan McNally and EvanWorster — who have plenty ofvarsity experience.

“Dylan and Evan were mynumber two and three (starters)last year. They’re a pretty goodone-two punch,” Forest Hillscoach Mike LeBlanc said. “Afterthat, it’s hit or miss.”

Spencer Conrad is a senior out-fielder who should provide someoffense for the Tigers, and juniorEthan Levesque returns at thirdbase. As always, Forest Hills willcount on younger players. Threeeighth-graders are on the rosterthis season.

Valley might be the youngestteam in the entire state. TheCavaliers have no seniors, onejunior, four sophomores and

seven freshmen. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a

team this young before,” Valleycoach Paul Belanger said.

If there’s a silver lining to Valley’syouth, it’s that three of Belanger’sfreshmen — Dylan Belanger,

Andrew Marden and Sam Mathieu— started every game as eighthgraders last season.

Last spring, Skowheganand Bangor split twogames in the regularseason, went 17-0 intheir other games, and

had their expected matchup inthe Eastern A softball final.

This year, there are not twoobvious favorites. In fact, theremight not even be one.

“I think you’re going to see a dif-ferent league as a whole,”Skowhegan coach Lee Johnsonsaid. “This year, I really think it’sanybody’s ballgame. I don’t seeanybody being really dominant.”

Then again, maybe there will bea favorite. Brewer coach SkipEstes told the Bangor Daily News,“I think Cony could run the table,I really do. They’re that good.”

“No presssure,” Cony coachRocky Gaslin joked in reply to thatassessment. “There’s so many ofus so close together, it’s ridicu-lous.”

Cony does have talent, and fin-ished 14-4 last season. The Ramswill miss the big bat of Amy Jones(now playing at The University ofMaine at Farmington) but have agood nucleus led by center fielderSuzannah Deeves, who hit .545last spring. Gaslin wants to makesure the Rams’ opponents getCony’s best game every singletime out.

“We have to play together as ateam,” Gaslin said.

Skowhegan has probably thebest player in the league in short-stop Whitney Jones, who will playsoftball at Seton Hall next year.Jones is still recovering from herpreseason basketball injury and isquestionable for the start of theseason.

“She’s making real goodprogress right now,” Johnson said.

The Indians are replacing theirbattery of Becca McCarty andSam Gray and must also revamptheir offense. Kady Esty is thefront-runner among the pitchersright now, but there is talentbehind her.

“I have five, six pitchers that I’mcomfortable I could throw,”Johnson said. “It’s just a matter ofgetting them enough innings.”

Since going 2-14 in 2007,Messalonskee has gone 7-9, 9-8and 8-9 in the last three years. TheEagles have not advanced past thepreliminary round since 2006,and would like to get out of the.500 neighborhood and into ahigher seed.

Among the returning players,second baseman Alei Colliermade second-team all-confer-ence last year, Bri Warren is asteady third baseman and AlyssaEugley will move from outfield tocatcher.

Erskine had essentially thesame team in 2009 and 2010, butgraduated four key seniors. Thereare still some veterans here:Seniors Danielle Burns andJessica Souther have played everyinning since they were freshmen,and Meryl Bond is one of the topcatchers in the conference.

“I think that compared to thelast couple years, we’re a littleyounger and a little less experi-enced,” Erskine coach MikleSoule said. “But I’ve got threepitchers, three quality catchersand some returning seniors in theinfield that can lead on the fieldand off.”

The final record of 3-13 wasn’tone Mt. Blue could point to withpride last year, but the Cougarswere actually close to being muchbetter than that.

“Offensively, I think we strug-gled last year,” Mt. Blue coachLisa Dube said. “We got shut outfour times. We lost several gamesby three runs or less. We’re justgoing to take a more relaxedapproach.”

Hannah Allen, who had 10 hitsin Mt. Blue’s first four games lastseason, leads a group of sixreturning seniors for theCougars. Allen has played centerfield for years, but Dube is toyingwith the idea having her catch.Offensively, Allen can help set thetable for big sticks like TanishaDellarma, Jillian Perron and SaraTurner.

If some pieces fall into place,Lawrence could improve on its 4-12 record of last spring. TheBulldogs have quality players upthe middle like catcher KrystaPelletier, shortstop Jess Poulinand center fielder Megan Moen.With those three in the middle ofthe lineup and Megan Miville andSophie Lindsay at the top of the

order, Lawrence should scoresome runs.

“If our pitchers can keep us inthe game — throw strikes, mix up

the location, keep batters off bal-ance — our defense will besound,” Lawrence coach JoeyMarcoux said.

For years, pitchers havedominated Class Bsoftball in centralMaine. However, thereare no Sarah Maxwells

on local rosters this season. Still,at least two teams have the poten-tial to make some playoff noise.

Among the local Eastern Bteams, Winslow probably has thebest shot at a high seed. The BlackRaiders won 11 games last season,despite suffering several late-inning losses. All but threestarters return, and sophomorecatcher Jennifer Poulin is one ofthe standouts among the new-comers.

Pitchers Kaite Bernard and JulieRiordan return and are backed byMackenzie Drake. Allison LeClairis back after batting cleanup as afreshman and leading the Raidersin most offensive categories.

“We have six starters back, andwe have some girls who are doinga nice job filling in those spots,”said Winslow coach Steve Blood,whose team entered last year’splayoffs as the sixth seed and lostin the quarterfinals. “I think weshould at least compete to bewhere we were last year, andmaybe move up a little bit.”

Oak Hill, which competes inWestern B, will be another of thetop teams in the Kennebec ValleyAthletic Conference. The Raidershave two standout pitchers inLauren Hall and Kortni Michaud.Both are also part of a dynamicoffense. Taylor Fillion, Alexis

Priest, Alyssa Rouleau and KatieWood are also all capable of deliv-ering big hits for Oak Hill.

“I think we were strong defen-sively last year,” Oak Hill coachJulie Boucher said. “One of the keyaspects of our success this year isgoing to be offense.”

Maranacook’s run with Maxwellended without a trip to the statefinals. The Black Bears mustreplace her and other key playerslost to graduation, but still havetwo top-level players in thirdbaseman Katie Dore and catcherHeidi Shaw.

Gardiner won 10 games lastseason with a combination ofcontrol pitching, excellentdefense and timely hitting.Pitchers Cassie Snell and KelseyMoody both return, and whileneither is a flamethrower, theyeach limited their walks to aroundtwo per game.

“Both of those two girls throwstrikes, which I think is veryimportant in softball,” Gardinercoach Conrad Lewis said.

Freshman Brittany Rollinscould also do some pitching, andthe Tigers have nine playersreturning who saw significantaction last spring.

“They’re an awful good group ofkids,” Lewis said. “I think if theyplay to their ability and do the lit-tle things we have to do, we’regoing to be competitive.”

Nokomis has only a handful ofplayers returning in the samepositions they played last year.The pitchers — Sierra Fortin,Becky Orcutt and Sarah Packard— are all freshmen, and as a team,

the Warriors will make some mis-takes of inexperience in the earlygoing.

But a good percentage of theplayers worked on their gamesover the summer, and coach J.D.McLellan thinks that will help thisseason.

“It’s unreal how dedicated theyare,” he said.

Waterville is also showing dedi-cation. After starting off 0-10 lastseason, the Purple Panthers ral-lied to win a couple games. CoachMatt Madore said the team hasan attitude to the effect of, “Last

year was bad, but we still had fun,so now we can handle anything.”

“The girls have fun when theycome to practice,” Madore said.“We’re doing a lot more thingstogether, JV and varsity, so that wecan develop all together as a pro-gram. I’m very impressed with thegirls 9-12, all grades. They reallyhave stepped up.”

Maine Central Insititute hadone of the best pitchers in theleague last year in MandyKennedy, but just missed theplayoffs. The Huskies ended lastseason with nine players, but start

this season with more than dou-ble that. MCI has only one senior,so the Huskies will look to buildboth the team and the individualplayer skills this spring.

Mt. View went from 3-13 in2009 to 2-14 last spring. TheMustangs are looking for bettershowings against the league’s topteams behind pitcher HaileyGiggey and four-year starterChanning Murphy. Coach MikeGagnon was also impressed withfreshman Shaniah Gilley, a stand-out athlete who could be thestarting catcher.

The quote is from Mt.Abram coach JeffPillsbury, but itmight as well befrom any local soft-

ball coach in Western C.“There’ll be some growing

pains,” Pillsbury said of histeam. “We’ve got a lot of poten-tial, but we’ve got a lot of workto do.”

If Pillsbury feels that way, youcan imagine how the othercoaches feel. Mt. Abram hasfour seniors, which is not onlythe most of any of the six localteams in the Mountain ValleyConference, it’s more thanMadison, Monmouth andWinthrop — combined.

While pitcher Kayla Merrillmakes Telstar the favorite inWestern C, the rest of the regionis more muddled. The Northdivision is especially balanced.

“Our division, there’s proba-bly two teams that could com-pete in the playoffs and proba-bly won’t even go,” Pillsburysaid. “So we’re going to bescrapping just to get into theplayoffs.”

Mt. Abram won 10 games lastyear, but four of them were nail-biters, including an 11-10 play-off win over Jay. TheRoadrunners had a great leftside of the infield last season inthird baseman Kylie Rolbieckiand shortstop Jillian Withee, butboth have graduated. Those twopositions will be a focus for Mt.Abram throughout preseason.

Monmouth is a pretty safe betto post a winning record eachyear, but the Mustangs have notadvanced past the quarterfinalssince 2008. Although there areonly two seniors on the roster,there are a total of nine return-ing players, which givesMonmouth more varsity experi-ence than most teams in thearea.

Madison has no seniors andthree juniors this year, but twoof those juniors, shortstopNathalie Michaud and catcherKayla Belanger, are proven hit-ters. In the circle, Madison willgo with a combination of soph-omore Kayla Booker and fresh-man Emily McKenney.

“Both are quality pitchers,”Madison coach Al Venezianosaid. “They both work very hardat it. I think they’ll do a finejob.”

That’s pretty much the storyof the team this season.

Veneziano likes the talent onhand, but says it just needsgame experience.

After winning 12 games with asenior-laden lineup last spring,Hall-Dale has only five return-ing players this year. Threeplayers have been on the rosterfor more than one year — sen-ior shortstop Kayla Barton, sen-ior center fielder Kelsey Wrightand junior catcher CarylanneWolfington.

“We’ve got some great youngplayers, and three upperclass-men with a lot of experience tobuild around,” Hall-Dale coachDave Kaplan said. “We’re goingto lean on the two seniors andthe junior pretty hard. They’reexpected to shoulder quite aload.”

Carrabec had some superbgames last season when theCobras seemed to have theirpitching, hitting and fielding allworking together. They couldn’tquite get enough of them toearn a playoff spot, and they’lllook for that this year as theyface a tough schedule.

Eight of Carrabec’s 17 playersare freshmen, but a lot of them

are showing promise, such ascatcher Brooklyn Lewis. AshleeKnight will play one of the cor-ner infield positions, and themiddle infield of second base-man Becca Bergeron and short-stop Kara Hebert is a bigstrength for the Cobras.Offensively, Carrabec may playmore of a small-ball style thisspring. Pitchers CourtneyTurner and Lacey Fenlasonhave both shown moments ofbrilliance in the past and willlook to get into a groove.

Winthrop was playing quitewell at the end of last season,and the Ramblers will look topick up from that point thisspring. Sasha Flaherty is theonly senior, but there are 10freshmen on the roster, andthere were years in the pastwhen Winthrop had troublefinding 10 softball players, peri-od.

Meagan Scully led theRamblers in hitting last season,and junior Amy Belanger is acapable No. 1 pitcher. Secondbaseman Alison Sekerak leadsthe defense, and coach SeanScully said it’s nice to have the

depth that comes with an 18-player roster.

“I’m seeing a very good bunch

of aggressive young ballplayers,”Scully said. “I’m just seeing a lotof positive things for this year.”

Experience in short supply in MVCLocal teams are young, will look to gain experience


BACK IN ACTION: Hall-Dale catcher Carylanne Wolfington is one of just five players returning to a Hall-Dale team that won 12 gameslast season.


Richmond is almost afixture in the WesternD softball final. TheBobcats are certainlyfavored to get there

again this year.They have two returning pitch-

ers: Leandra Martin, who went 7-0 last spring, and Jamie Plummer,who was 6-1 and won the WesternD final. Martin wore two kneebraces last year, but is down toone and throwing well.

Offensively, Richmond wasgood enough last year to score 33runs in three playoff games, andthe core of that lineup is back.

“Theoretically, we should havebetter hitting this year than last,and we were a good hitting teamlast year,” Richmond coach RickCoughlin said.

Tara Hurley was one ofRichmond’s top hitters last sea-son, and her sister Danica canhurt opponents with her speed.Catcher Lindsy Hoopingarnershould also be a big contributor atthe plate.

“A lot of kids have gone down toPortland for batting practice andso forth,” Coughlin said.

Still, with all the talent onhand, Coughlin does cautionthat this will not always be aneasy ride. He took time to remindthe players that, as defendingstate champions, they will geteveryone’s best game — espe-cially in the playoffs.

“As long as we don’t get compla-

cent...,” Coughlin said. “Inessence, you have to work twiceas hard.”

Rangeley’s new coach is AshleyQuimby, a former three-sportstandout for the Lakers. TheLakers have nine returning play-ers, including outfielder AllieHammond, who missed all of bas-ketball season with a knee injury.

“They’re hoping by the begin-ning of May, she should be readyto go,” Quimby said. “She’s a hugeasset, not only on the field, butleadership-wise.”

Quimby is emphasizing fun,and the Lakers should also becompetitive. One interesting noteis that the Lakers two catchers —Taylor Bean and Seve Deery-DeRaps — are both eighth-graders.

“They both caught last year inmiddle school,” Quimby said. “Ireally had no other girls who wereinterested. They both stepped upand are working really hard. It’sbeen good for us.”

Valley also has a new coach.Scott Laweryson, an assistantunder former coach RobinLindeman, takes over the pro-gram. Despite a school enroll-ment of well under 100 students,the Cavaliers have 19 players ontheir roster, including seven sen-iors. While not quite at the level ofperennial co-powers Richmondand Buckfield, Valley is consis-tently competitive, and thatshould be the case again this sea-son.

Cindy Schultz is back after sit-ting out last season, and she’s one

of three pitchers, along withKirsten Mathieu and TeaganLaweryson. Coach Lawerysonsaid he hasn’t decided yet how hewill allocate the innings betweenthe pitchers.

After finishing 0-14 last season,Forest Hills brings back a lot ofexperience. The Tigers have 13players on their roster, and theirnew coach is a familiar one: ErnieGiroux, who coached the Tigersfor 15 years before retiring afterthe 2009 season.

“I missed coaching softball,”said Giroux, who turns 72 thissummer. “I really missed it, big

time.”Pitcher Erica Turner is a sopho-

more, and catcher Dana McNallyis a freshman, but both held thosejobs last season.

“I think Dana could be the bestcatcher I’ve ever had,” Girouxsaid. “She’s very athletic and she’sgot a great arm.”

Cleanup hitter Kaila Achey willprobably be the biggest bat in thelineup. Even after last season’sfrustration, Giroux said the play-ers are pumped up and ready togo.

“You can feel the excitement,”Giroux said. “They want to be out

there playing ball.”Kents Hill lost most of its

starting lineup to graduation,but coach Meg Bennett is soexcited about the newcomersshe feels the Huskies will be incontention for their thirdstraight Maine Association ofIndependent Schools AthleticDirectors title.

“This is an athletic team withgood pitching and catching and astrong defense to back it up,”Bennett said. “Offensively, wehave power hitters and small ballplayers with speed that shouldmake things exciting.”

BY BILL STEWARTStaff Writer

Waterville SeniorHigh Schoolcoach Ian Wilsonsays it will be dif-ficult for his

team to duplicate last season’sdominant performance. ThePurple Panthers won the statetitle with a whopping 168 points.York was second with 94.

Waterville is still plenty goodenough to contend for whatwould be its fifth consecutiveClass B state championship.

“The girls team was so domi-nant last year that no one wasclose to them,” Wilson said. “It’shard for me to believe that wewill be better than last year, butwe will try.”

Hall-Dale, meanwhile, hopesto contend for the MountainValley Conference title thanks toa strong core of returning talent.Abby Mace and Maranacook, aswell as Winthrop, should con-tend in Class C.

In Class A, Lawrence,Messalonskee, Mt. Blue andCony hope to make a little noisein the Kennebec Valley AthleticConference as well.

Class B: Waterville crushed thefield at the Class B state champi-onship meet last year, bestingYork by a whopping 74 points.

The Panthers return plenty oftalent, including OliviaThurston, Bethanie Brown,Courtney Williams and AlexaFrame.

Thurston and Brown are com-ing off strong indoor seasons.Thurston broke the state recordin the 400-meter run whileBrown won a pair of events.Newcomer Georgia Bolducshould make an immediateimpact in the sprints, as well.

“They have high expectationsof themselves,” Wilson said.“They expect to win.”

Winslow, with yet anotherdeep squad, could challengeWaterville in the KVAC.

The Raiders have more than40 athletes out and should bewell-covered in all the events.

“We’re definitely going to bethere at KVAC’s,” Winslow coachShawn Carey said. “We’ll be

noticed. I won’t say we’re goingto win it, but we’ll be there.”

Kelsea Bouchard (sprints),Emily Farrell (distance, jumps),Lauren Schassberger (distance),Riley Jones (race walk),Elizabeth Ferry (throws),Christine Parrilli (hurdles andjumps), and Alliyah Veilleux(sprints) should all score wellthis spring for the Raiders.

Gardiner, despite fielding asmall team, features a few indi-viduals who could shine at theconference and state meets.

Annie Schide finished fourthin the race walk at the Class Bmeet last year while teammateOlivia Reny had three top-10 fin-ishes — the long jump, 100 hur-dles and 100 dash.

“We have a good strong nucle-us that we’ve had for the lastthree years,” Gardiner coach EricHall said.

Mt. View, Nokomis andErskine should all field competi-tive teams again, as well.

Class C: Bri Crisci and KristyFredette lead a talented Hall-Dale team. Crisci won the 200and finished second in the 100 atthe Class C meet last spring.Fredette should fair well in thethrowing events, as will SaraPrice in the hurdles. Price fin-ished second in the 300 hurdlesat the Class C meet last year.

“We have the real potential tobe MVC champs,” Hall-Dalecoach Kristen Davis said. “Weare strong right across theboard. We have a solid team. Weenvision great things from Bri.Fredette has great skills in thethrowing events and Price candominate the hurdles.Hopefully, they will lead the wayto get us some points.”

Maranacook, thanks to Mace,should also be in the mix.

Mace won the 800, 1,600 and3,200 at the Class C meet lastspring and is one of the top dis-tance runners in the state.Coupled with Maddie Nazar(jumps and sprints), and theBlack Bears should field anotherstrong team.

Mace is dealing with a kneeinjury and could miss some timeearly in the season.

“We have some real strengthcoming back,” Maranacookcoach Ronn Gifford said. “Wehave a good core coming back. Ithink we’ll be very competitive.We have that early energy.”

Winthrop returns a strong coreof distance runners, led by AnnaDoyle, Grace Burnett and SarahWarner. Karen Rice, the defend-

ing state champ in the 100, ispoised for a big year as well.

“We’re hoping to be competi-tive in conference and states,”Winthrop coach Ed Van Tasselsaid.

Carrabec, led by FeliciaLandry (throws) and SikwaniDana (distance), should bestrong as well. Maine CentralInstitute, Madison andMonmouth also should improve.

Class A: Cony sophomoreLindsey Folsom returns as oneof the top pole vaulters in thestate.

She won the event at the ClassA meet last season. She also wonthe KVAC and state titles in theevent during the indoor season.

“She’s a top performer in herevent,” Cony coach Jon Millettsaid.

Erin Bolduc (hurdles andjumps) should also contributefor the Rams.

Meg Collier (distance) andJane VanDerKarr (jumps) leadMessalonskee, while Lawrencecoach Tim Alberts said his teamcould crack the top five in theconference.

The Bulldogs, led by SaraQuimby (jumps), Khristina Craig(throws) and Sasha Letourneau(sprints), finished sixth at the

KVAC meet last season.“I do have high hopes for the

girls,” Alberts said.Mt. Blue coach Kelley

Cullenberg said the Cougars aremore “well-rounded” this sea-son.

Gwen Beacham (distance),Allison Brown (sprints), EmilyReed (race walk) and AddieCullenberg (middle-distance)pace Mt. Blue.

BY BILL STEWARTStaff Writer

Waterville SeniorHigh Schoolhas come oh-so-close towinning the

Class B state championship thelast two seasons, finishing sec-ond in 2009 and third last spring.

The Panthers, buoyed by aneye-popping turnout of 63 boys,have enough talent and depth towin their fourth state title in sixyears.

“We’re more talented anddeeper than what we were lastyear,” Waterville coach IanWilson said. “I really like thisteam. We have a lot of athletesout.”

Maranacook also returns adeep squad that should contendfor the Class C title. Hall-Dale,Winthrop and Monmouth shouldalso be in the mix.

In Class A, Cony hopes to buildoff a strong finish last season, inwhich it finished third in theKennebec Valley AthleticConference and fifth at the statemeet.

Class B: The Panthers finisheda distant third to Falmouth at theClass B state meet last spring, butthey return a loaded team thisseason. Isaiah Spofford is comingoff a dominant indoor season, inwhich he won the 55-meter dashand triple jump titles. He isjoined by Alex Rowe (jumps),Nick Margitza (jumps), Jeff Hale(distance) and Darien Acero(jumps), who are expected toscore well this spring.

Rowe finished second toSpofford in the 55-meter hurdlesat the indoor meet, and thePanthers finished second toFalmouth.

“I think we gained an awful lotof talent off the winter teams,”Wilson said. “My hope is theygive us enough firepower tomake up the difference onFalmouth.”

Erskine and Winslow couldchallenge Waterville.

The Eagles came close last sea-son and feature another deepteam this season, led by distancerunner Eben Hodgkins. He fin-

ished third in the 3,200-meterrun at the outdoor championshipmeet last spring.

“We expect a big year,” Erskinecoach Chris Bennett said. “Weare well-covered and we havedepth in the distance and depthin sprints, which we didn’t havelast year. A lot of the seniors andjuniors are pretty hungry. I’m notsure if the underclassmen under-stand how good we are.”

Jarrod Lenfest (distance), ZachLee (sprints), Zach Peaslee(jumps) and Aaron Taylor(sprints, throws) should con-

tribute as well.Winslow is fielding another

deep team, led by pole vaulterRyan Turner, sprinter DominicSintetos and distance runnerJames Cassidy.

“This is the best group I’ve hadin a long time,” Winslow coachShawn Carey said. “We’re lookingto make our mark in KVAC’s.”

Elsewhere, Mt. View had about30 boys come out this spring andshould be competitive in theKVAC. Nokomis and Gardinerhope to improve, as well.

Class A: Brunswick, Mt. Ararat

and Edward Little are once againthe KVAC A favorites.

Harlow Ladd, one of the topdistance runners in the state,returns for Messalonskee. He fin-ished seventh in the 1,600 and10th in the 3,200 at the Class Ameet last spring. He suffered aninjury early during the indoorseason and will ease his way intothe spring.

“He’ll do quite well this year,but we won’t push him early,”Messalonskee coach Scott Wilsonsaid.

Josiah White (sprints) and KenZahner (throws) lead Lawrence.

“We still know we have areasthat we just don’t have the com-petitors,” Lawrence coach TimAlberts said.

Mt. Blue for the first time inseveral years had a high turnoutof football players, which gives itdepth in the throwing events.

“We have a lot of potential,”Mt. Blue coach Kelley Cullenbergsaid.

Last spring, Cony finishedthird in the KVAC A meet andfifth at the state meet.

Julian Hubbard (jumps),Connor Dufour (sprints), WillLundquist (distance) and LukeDang (sprints) should performwell this spring.

“When it comes down to theKVACs we could be back up at thetop again,” Cony coach JonMillett said.

Class C: Maranacook finishedsecond to Sacopee Valley by

eight points at the Class C meet.The Black Bears return EvanVincent (race walk), TaylorWatson (sprints, hurdles) andHarry Lanphear (throws).

“They will be the leaders ofthe team,” Maranacook coachRonn Gifford said. “We’re look-ing for big seasons out of them.We’ll cover all the events prettywell.”

Watson, who is recoveringfrom a back injury, won the 110hurdles and 300 hurdles at theClass C meet last spring.Lanphear won the shot put andVincent was second in the racewalk.

Travis Hutchins returns forWinthrop and should be one ofthe top throwers in the MountainValley Conference. He is thedefending state champ in the dis-cus.

Elsewhere, Matt McClintock,another top distance runner inthe state, leads Madison whileMaine Central Institute seniorColby Patterson will look to win astate title in the 400.

McClintock is the Class C crosscountry state champ.

“We expect to see him comeinto his own,” Madison coachBob Hagopian said.

Monmouth, led by a strongcore of distance runners, shouldalso contend in the MVC.Carrabec and Valley will fielddeeper teams this season, as well,giving them reason to be opti-mistic.

BY SCOTT MARTINSports Editor

The Messalonskeeboys lacrosse teamcleared one big hur-dle last season, beat-ing Brunswick for the

first time in 14 games. The Eagles,however, have a few more hurdlesthey’d like to clear this season.

Messalonskee has reached theEastern Maine Class A regionalfinal in four of the last five sea-sons, but has yet to reach a statechampionship game. Coach TomSheridan hopes, with a stronggroup of players returning, theEagles are ready to make that nextstep.

“I’m excited to go,” Sheridansaid. “I think we have some veryspecial people on this team. We’vepulled a lot of top athletes fromother sports and a lot of themhave been together since the sev-enth grade. Hopefully, it comes tofruition this year and we make itto the state game.”

The Eagles went 10-4 last sea-son. The only teams to beat themwere Eastern A championPortland and Brunswick.Messalonskee has a strong groupreturning from last season,including attacker NateDelGiudice, a first-team KennebecValley Athletic Conference Class Aselection who scored over 30 goalslast season. The Eagles do have afreshman in goal, Jake Smith, buthave a strong unit in front of him,led by Josh Smith.

“We’ve got a freshman goalie,but I do have all of my starting ‘D’back,” Sheridan said. “We are onlyreplacing three starters from lastyear.”

The Eagles are also strong in themidfield, with Keenan Knox, CamDouglas and Jacob Erskine allreturning.

The Mt. Blue boys moved backup to Class A last season andstruggled after losing 10 playersfrom the 2009 team to graduation.The Cougars are playing under anew coach this year, JohnMcDonough, who wants tochange his team’s style of play.

“Mt. Blue has always beenknown as the physical team,”McDonough said. “I’m trying to

get them past that. I use a refer-ence like Maine MaritimeAcademy. They may not be thebest team, but they are in suchgood shape they can play with alot of people. If you can run, youcan stay in a lot of close games.”

The Cougars lost some talentedplayers, but return a good groupof midfielders. Griffin Conlongueleads the offense.

The Cony boys, meanwhile,hope to build off the lesson theylearned last season. The Rams lostsome talented defensemen from ayear ago, but many of the return-ers played significant minutes lastspring.

In Class A girls, the Cony girlsreturn the tools to remain com-petitive in Eastern A. The Ramsfinished 8-5 last spring, losing inthe Eastern A semifinal.

“We are pretty versatile,” Conycoach Gretchen Livingston said. “Ithink most of these girls couldplay anywhere and almost all ofthem likely will be asked to.”

Livingston thinks the Rams willbe solid defensively, with a groupled by Julie Arbour, Heather Leetand goalie Katrina Duncan.

The Messalonskee girlsknocked Cony out of the playoffslast season and return a good dealof talent this season. The Eaglesshould be strong offensively, ledby attackers Abbey Stacey,Maddie Kadnar and Amy Jose.

Ally Delisle and Ali Omsbergwill also help generate offensefrom their midfield positions.

“I believe that we will be verystrong competitors,” first-yearMessalonskee coach KatieGorham said.

Locally, Class B boys has a newaddition inMaranacook/Winthrop. Thecooperative team has been a clubteam, the Kennebec Cannons, thelast few years and will play inEastern B this spring.

“One wildcard might be(Maranacook/Winthrop), theyhave some good athletes,”Gardiner coach K.C. Johnson said.“They will make an impact.”

Maranacook/Winthrop is led byattacker Luke Emery, who has animpressive shot, according tocoach Jared Knowlton.

“He has one of the fastest shotsI’ve ever seen,” Knowlton said. “It

makes our goalies tremble.”

Gardiner just missed the play-offs last spring but did win theKennebec Valley AthleticConference Class B title game.The Tigers have a strong groupreturning, including goalie PeterWilliamson and midfielderDalton Eldridge, who were bothnamed all-conference first-teamselections.

Steve Cobb takes over at OakHill and has a strong group ofdefensemen returning. He willstart a freshman, Bailey Beaulieau,in goal, but has three seniors (WillAronson, Nick Wells and ZachSurette) playing in front of him.

The Gardiner girls reached theplayoffs last spring and return astrong group of players from thatteam. Becca Paradee and Jen Daylead the offense, scoring a com-bined 95 goals in the last two sea-sons.

Kaylee Heath returns to lead thedefensive unit, while HayleyThibeau moves from goalie toattack this season.

“I think we’ll do very well,”Gardiner coach Sharon Gallantsaid. “After this year, we’ll have abuilding year. They are verycompetitive and work greattogether.”

The Kents Hill boys, who wonthe Maine Association ofIndependent Schools AthleticDirectors title two years ago, areyoung but gained valuable experi-ence last season.

The Kents Hill girls are alsoyoung, with veteran Maya Bentleyreturning in goal.

Eagles hope to soar to new heights

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Jon Millett (1st season)Last season: 12th in Class A, 4th in KVACTop returners: Kaitlyn Marks (Sr., sprints, middle-distance), Lindsey Folsom (So.,pole vault), Corey Lim (Sr., hurdles), Leah Howard Berry (So., throws), Erin Bolduc(So., hurdles, jumps)Key newcomers: Sarah Smith (Fr., middle-distance), Leyna Toby (So.,throws)Outlook: Folsom returns as one of the top pole vaulters in the state. She is thedefending Class A state champ in the event, in which she cleared 10-foot-3 lastspring as a freshman. She cleared 11-3 to win the event at the Class A indoorchampionships. Bolduc should also perform well this spring. She finished sixth inthe 300 hurdles at the Class A meet last spring.Coach’s comment: “I think we’ll be competitive throughout the season. We’ll try tobuild toward the KVACs and see how we fare.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Jon Millett (1st season)Last season: 5th in Class A, 3rd in KVACTop returners: Julian Hubbard (Jr., jumps), Cody Paulin (Jr., jumps), ConnorDufour (Sr., sprints, middle-distance), Will Lundquist (Sr., distance), Luke Dang(So., sprints), Sam Birch (So., throws)Key newcomers: Thon Phasathon Itthipalakorn (Jr., sprints), Norton Revell (So.,pole vault)Outlook: The Rams challenged for the KVAC title last spring, but lost several keyathletes to graduation. Millett expects Dufour and Hubbard to score well this spring.Hubbard finished fifth in the high jump at the KVAC A meet last spring. Luke Dangwas part of the team’s title-winning 4x100 relay team last spring and should anchorthe sprinting events this season.Coach’s comment: “We should be competitive in the KVACs. We have a shot atwinning some meets this year. I think we can be at the top.”

BASEBALLCoach: Don Plourde (2nd season)Last season: 15-3, lost in Eastern A semifinalTop returners: Nick Lucas (Sr., 3B), Luke Duncklee (Sr., OF-P), Colin McKee(Sr., P-SS), Corey Lapierre (Sr., 1B), Ryan Edwards (Jr., P-2B), Zac Lachance(So., P-2B)Key newcomers: Joe Whittier (Sr., OF), Carter Weiss (Sr., OF), Simon Yorks (Jr.,OF), Jake Harriman (Jr., C), Matt Swan (Jr., C-INF), Chase Shostak (Jr., C), TylerLewis (So., P-1B), Chandler Shostak (So., P-Util)Outlook: The Rams lost most of their pitching and power but should beamong the contenders in the East based on the return of Duncklee, Lucas,McKee and Lapierre. Edwards and Lachance each saw action on the moundlast season and will move into prominent roles this spring. Chandler Shostakand Lewis are battling for the third spot in the rotation while Duncklee andMcKee are expected to pitch in relief. Lapierre gives Cony a power bat fromthe left side.Coach’s comment: “We don’t have the pop we had last year so we’re going tohave to do things differently, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far.”

SOFTBALLCoach: Rocky Gaslin (7th season)Last season: 14-4, lost in Eastern A semifinalsTop returners: Elizabeth Barker (Sr., RF), Allison Cote (Sr., 1B), SuzannahDeeves (Sr., CF), Morgan Jones (Sr., LF), Laina Younes (Sr., 3B), Alyssa Brochu(Jr., 2B), Cecilia Fuller (Jr., LF), Nicole Rugan (Jr., C), Emily Soule (Jr., P), JennaHoward (So., P), Molly Russell (So., SS)Key newcomers: Mackenzie Stevens (Jr., OF), Allison White (Jr., C), OliviaDeeves (Fr., 3B), Alyssa Dennett (Fr., SS), Maggie Russell (Fr., IF)Outlook: Cony lost to eventual regional champion Bangor in last year’s semifinals,and returns three first-team all-conference players in Rugan, Soule and SuzannahDeeves. Soule will do most of the pitching, and she’s one of the best in Eastern A.The Rams should be solid both offensively and defensively.Coach’s comment: “We have most of the same team coming back. Our kids are alittle stronger this year, a little more mature. We have a real nice group of girls thatare willing to work.”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Jeff Fowler (1st season)Last season: 5-7Top returners: Max Hutchinson (Jr.), Robert Swain (Jr.),Key newcomers: Garrett Raymond (Jr.), Dallas Clark (So.), Ean Rouillard (So.)Outlook: Fowler takes over a team he says is in a rebuilding year. Only two playersreturn from the varsity team last season and neither started consistently.Coach’s comment: “We are a little short on experience but our players are athleticand most importantly, coachable.”

GIRLS TENNISCoach: Carol Patenaude (6th season)Last season: 10-2, last in Eastern Class A semifinalsTop returners: Alli Chase (Jr.), Elizabeth Cote (Sr.), Taylor Edmondson (Sr.), MelanieGuzman (Jr.), Nicole Kirschner (Sr.), Kirsten Pietri (Sr.), Kiersten Bumford (Jr.),Bethany Elwell (Jr.), Alison Guzzetti (So.), Alison Zubrod (Sr.)Key newcomers: Molly Daniel (So.), Katie Guzman (Fr.), Meghan Jellison (So.),Alexsandra Orio (So.), Maggie Priest (So.), Erin Whitney (So.)Outlook: The Rams will be lead by Edmondson and Kirschner. Patenaude had 36players come out this spring. Chase and Melanie Guzman return as a solid doublesteam. Patenaude likes her team’s overall athletic ability and how coachable they are.Coach’s comment: “Many of the girls are working hard to improve their game. Thisshould be a fun season. I feel fortunate to coach such a fine group of young women.”

Foye, new to the game, has learned along withhis team, and hopes Cony can continue to grow as a program.Coach’s comment: “They are working really hard.

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Chris Bennett (1st season)Last season: 25th in Class B, 13th in KVACTop returners: Marissa Bovie (Sr., distance), Brittany Sherman (Sr.,sprints), Kay Hanson (So., sprints), Brittany Doughty (So., sprints),Marissa Jordan (So., sprints), Casey Alexander (Sr., throws)Key newcomers: Jade Canak (Fr., jumps), Bridget Humphrey (So.,Sprints), Kelly McCormac (So., sprints), Sarah Basham (Fr., dis-tance), Becca Reed (Fr., distance)Outlook: The Eagles struggled a bit last season but should be com-petitive in the KVAC thanks to a strong group of returners. Shermanreturns as a strong sprinter while Bovie leads the way in the dis-tance events.Coach’s comment: “We’re getting stronger. We have some depthand have some high expectations.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Chris Bennett (1st season)Last season: 6th in Class B, 2nd in KVACTop returners: Eben Hodgkins (Jr., distance), Jarrod Lenfest (Sr., dis-tance), Zach Lee (So., sprints, hurdles),Greg O’Connor (Sr., distance),Kevin Graham (Sr., distance), Ethan Bronson (So., distance), ZachPeaslee (Sr., jumps), Aaron Taylor (Sr., sprints, throws), Sean Gary(Sr., throws), Cameron Campbell (Sr., sprints), Cory Sprague (Sr.,sprints), Cameron Reed (So., sprints), Greg O’Connor (Sr., distance)Key newcomers: Brian Potter (Sr., sprints), Erik Dodge, (Fr., distance)Outlook: The Eagles last season nearly pulled off a stirring upsetover Waterville in the KVAC B meet, only to fall by 3.5 points. Theteam returns plenty of talent and is poised to challenge Watervilleagain this year. Hodgkins finished third in the 3,200 at the Class Bstate meet last season.Coach’s comment: “We have high expectations. We expect a bigyear. We are well-covered in all the events.”

They’ve taken their lumps since moving back to Class A a cou-ple of years ago. Despite their record, they played a number of closegames last season and hope to win those this year. Belanger,Humphrey and Scates all saw significant time on the mound lastyear while Pulver is ready to move into the closer’s role. The defenseis solid while hitting, a problem last season, is much improved.Coach’s comment: “We’re in a position now where we’ll competeon a daily basis.”

GIRLS TENNISCoach: Shara MacDonald (8th season)Last season: 0-12Top returners: Mallorie Rauch (Sr.), Bethany Burnhardt (Jr.), EmilyWood (Jr.), Emily Howard (Sr.), Emily Jordan (Sr.), Chrissy Begin(Jr), Nicole Glidden (Jr), Sierra Tjelmeland (Jr.), Marina Williams (Jr),Nichole Dutil (So).Key newcomers: Katelyn Balmer (Jr), Taylor Bailey (Fr.), Tasha Dutil(Fr.), Kathryn Fraser (Fr.), Danika Barnum (Fr.)Outlook: The Eagles have two solid singles players in Burnhardtand Wood. Turnout is never an issue for Erskine girls tennis and thisyear is no exception.Coach’s comment: “I have a wonderful group of young ladies thatlove working together and the game of tennis.

Schide finished fourth in the race walk at the Class B meet last seasonwhile Reny was seventh in the 100-meter hurdles. She was sixth in that event at the KVAC meet aswell.Coach’s comment: “We have a good nucleus. We’re looking to have a good year.”

Lapointe is coming off a shoulder injury suffered in football season, but should performwell in the jumps and sprints. Also out this spring is Donnell, who suffered a leg injury in the footballseason.Coach’s comment: “We’ll be young, but we will try to build as many pieces as we can.”

GIRLS LACROSSECoach: Sharon Gallant (3rd season)Last season: 8-5, lost in East B semifinalsTop returners: Becca Paradee (Sr., MF), Jenn Day (Sr., A), Kaylee Heath (Sr., B), Caitlin Phillips(Sr., MF), Hayley Thibeau (Sr., A), Shauna Moulton (Sr., G), Paige Pillsbury (Jr., D), Brooke Davis(So.)Key newcomers: Ally Day (Fr., D), Kayla Reinaldi (Sr., MF).Outlook: The Tigers took a step forward in their growth as a young program, making the playoffslast season. Paradee and Jenn Day lead a strong attack and Reinaldi, a transfer from New York,should help immediately.Coach’s comment: “This is a very competitive group and they work great together. They havebeen the group that has been together since we started as a varsity program.”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Rob Disch (15th season)Last season: 12-0, lost in Western B semifinalsTop returners: Isaac Luken (Sr.), Justin Ladner (So.), Eddie Abbondazio (So.), Mitchell Chesley(So.), Andrew Roberts (So.), Sam Temple (So.)Key newcomers: Zibin Liu (So.), Alexander Roberts (So.), Raymond Sargent (Jr.), Christian Heath(So.)Outlook: The Tigers lost No. 1 singles player Jared Hornecker to graduation.

They’re enthusiastic and ourgoal is to develop them as players. I’m not worried about wins and losses this year. My goal is toget these guys playing and developing for the future.”

Mohney played doubles lastseason and will likely move up to one of the three singles positions. Turmelleand Fles will likely be battling it out for the final single spot.Coach’s comment: “We lost a number of players from last year’s top seven,but I’m eager to see how the returning players will fill out our new top sevenand especially our seniors.”

BOYS LACROSSECoach: KC Johnson (13th season)Last season: 8-5Top returners: Peter Williamson (Sr., G), Kaleb Smith (Sr., A), Dalton Eldridge (Sr., MF), Tyler Salley (Sr.)Key newcomers: Not available at press timeOutlook: The Tigers missed the playoffs last spring, but won the KVAC B title game.

Moore and Armstrong head up what should still be a tight defense, and thereare three solid pitchers on the roster.Coach’s comment: “Offensively, the three seniors that graduated were 75 percentof our offense, so that’s going to be something we have to concentrate on.”

BASEBALLCoach: Jim Palmer (11th season)Last season: 10-7 in Class B EastTop returners: Spencer Allen (Sr. P-INF), Mike Phelps (Sr., C), Aaron Toman (Jr., 1B), JakePalmer (Jr., CF), Brandon Chaput (Jr., LF), Josh Ouellette (Jr., P-INF), Dennis Meehan (So.,INF-P)Key newcomers: Frank Chepke (So., OF), Ian Lane (So., INF-P), Hunter Belanger (So., INF-P),Zach Farrin (So., OF-P), Jensen Orweiller (So., C), Sam Tardiff (Sr., Util), Travis Kelley (Jr., 2B)Outlook: Allen gives the Tigers a solid No. 1 pitcher but after that they’re pretty inexperienced.Meehan and Ouellette are competing for the No. 2 spot while Toman and Lane are also in themix. Palmer likes his team’s defense, especially up the middle. Phelps returns to catch whileMeehan and newcomer Travis Kelly are middle infielders and Palmer is back in center. Ouellette,Palmer and Chepke all have excellent speed and will be part of a lineup that will manufacturemore runs than in the recent past.Coach’s comment: “If we work hard and improve on a daily basis I think we’ll be right there.”

The same could happen this year.Hayes returns as the team’s No. 1 pitcher while Martin is a solid fielder.

She finished second in the high jump at the KVAC Aindoor meet and is poised for a strong outdoor season. Craig wasthird in the shot put at the indoor meet. The Bulldogs haveenough depth to stay near the top of the conference.Coach’s comment: “I have high hopes for the girls. I’d like tothink we can be in the top five.”

LAWRENCE BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Tim Alberts (23rd season)Last season: 8th in KVACTop returners: Ken Zahner (Sr., throws), Josiah White (Sr.,sprints), Jimmy Pershken (Sr., distance), Mike Zebiak (Sr., dis-tance), Chris Bartch (Sr., sprints), Anthony Sementelli (So.,sprints), Mason Travers (So., jumps), Drew Bois (So., middle-dis-tance), Zac Blomerth (So., middle-distance, jumps) Key newcomers: Mark Yandian (Sr., sprints, jumps), AnthonyLevasseur (Jr., sprints), Dakota White (Fr., sprints)Outlook: Lawrence should be competitive in the KVAC, althoughit will struggle to cover all the events. Zahner and White are com-ing off strong indoor seasons and should produce some pointsthis spring. Zahner was sixth in the shot put at the Class A indoormeet. Pershken is the team’s distance runner and Travers shouldpick up where he left off last spring.Coach’s comments: “We know we have areas that we just don’thave the competitors. I am looking for us to do the best we cando.”

LAWRENCE BASEBALLCoach: Rusty Mercier (1st season)Last season: 5-11Top returners: Blair Blaisdell (Sr., IF-P), Shawn Russell (Sr.,OF-P), Mike Capponi (Sr., IF-P), Matt Woodbury (Sr., C), AlexLeathers (Jr., IF-P), Nick Champney (Jr., IF-OF), Isiah Fleming(Jr., OF-P), Tim Dudley (Jr., IF)Key newcomers: Xaviere Scott (Sr., OF), Jordan Perkins(Jr., IF), Luke Lawrence (So., IF-P), Spencer Sweat (So., C),Jesse Hines (So., IF-P), Jake Doolan (So., OF), Josh Doolan(So., OF)Outlook: Mercier takes over at Lawrence after one year coach-ing at Winslow. Pitching is the Bulldogs’ strength. Blaisdell,Russell, Capponi, and Leathers each have varsity experience.Woodbury is a three-year starter behind the plate, andChampney saw time in the lineup last season. The addition ofScott makes an athletic team even more so, and the Bulldogsshould contend for a playoff spot.Coach’s comment: “Pitching is our strength at this point, andI’d like to think we’ll be good defensively.”

LAWRENCE SOFTBALLCoach: Joey Marcoux (19th season)Last season: 4-12 in Eastern ATop returners: Alex Bickford (Sr., P), Danielle Dubois (Sr., 1B),Lisa Jordan (Sr., OF), Katelyn LaChance (Sr., OF/1B), MeganMiville (Sr., OF/2B), Krysta Pelletier (Sr., C), Jess Poulin (Sr.,SS), Sophie Lindsay (Jr., 3B), Megan Moen (Jr., OF), SierraJackson (So., P), Sarah Martin (So., P)Key newcomers: Nicole Bowen (Jr., 2B/OF), AllisonBlaisdell (So., C/2B), Alli Dyer (So., UT), Molly Moen (Fr.,OF/3B)Outlook: The Bulldogs stayed in the playoff hunt despite atough schedule last season, and are now looking to moveup in the standings. Marcoux said the pitching situation isup the air, but whoever gets the ball will need to throwstrikes.Coach’s comment: “We’re a really good defensive team, andwe’re going to be aggressive at the plate.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Bob Hagopian (18th season)Last season: 9th in Class C, 2nd in MVCTop returners: Matt McClintock (Jr., distance), Colby Staples (Sr., hurdles), Kyle Foley (Jr., pole vault), Joe Hayden (Jr., throws), AlexHelderman (Jr., distance), Scott Mercier (Sr., middle-distance)Key newcomers: Chris Hayden (Fr., throws, pole vault), Ron Helderman (Fr., middle-distance), Kyle McCarthy (Fr., multi), Nate Gross (Jr.,multi), Simon Morrow (Sr., multi)Outlook: McClintock is one of the top distance runners in the state. He is coming off a strong cross country season in which he won theClass C title and posted the fastest time in the state. He finished third in the 1,600 and second in the 3,200 at the Class C state meet lastspring.Coach’s comment: “We have a pretty good team out. I think Matt will come into his own.”

GIRLS TRACKCoach: Bob Hagopian (18th season)Last season: 21st in Class C, 9th in MVCTop returners: Crystal DaCosta (Jr., throws, sprints), Brooke Freeman (Jr., pole vault), Mickella Laney (Sr., jumps), Hannah Emery (Jr.,throws), Sam McLaughlin (Jr., hurdles), Jennifer Allen (So., throws), Kyrsta Moulton (Sr., racewalk), Allie McClintock (So., pole vault, dis-tance), Brooke Emery (So., sprints, jumps), Key newcomers: Kaitlyn Bossie (Fr., jumps), Brianna OIiver (Fr., hurdles), Alyssa Smith (So.), Lianna Thebarge (So.), Sam Bruce(So.)Outlook: The Bulldogs return some scorers from a year ago, but lack depth to contend for team championships. Freeman is one of the toppole vaulters in the conference. She won the event at the MVC meet last season.Coach’s comments: “The people we have are all scorers. I feel we’ll go quite a ways.”

BASEBALLCoach: Scott Franzose (2nd season)Last season: 2-13Top returners: Stephen Cusson (Sr., 3B-P), Stephen Day (Jr., OF-P), Travis Emerson (Jr., SS-P), Levi Tucker (Jr., 1B-P), Pat Magurn(Jr., OF), Dustin Henry (Jr., OF), Logan Cowan (Jr., OF), Garrett Emery (So., C-P), Rhett McKenney (So., 2B-SS-P), Jacob Johnson(So., OF)Key newcomers: M.J. Flanders (Fr., 2B-P), Dustin West (Fr., 1B-P), Kyle Dougeneck (Fr., 1B-OF-P), Nate Morales (Fr., OF)Outlook: The Bulldogs have no seniors this season, but Franzose expects leadership from a large junior class. Cusson looks to be the aceof the staff, and along with Day, Emerson and sophomore Emery form the team’s nucleus. Four freshmen could contribute immediately,Franzose said.Coach’s comment: “As long as we’re willing to do the little things, I think we could surprise some teams... The MVC is wide open thisyear.”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Ron Chillington (9th season)Last season: 8-4, lost in Western C semifinalsTop returners: Devin Steuber (Sr.), Luke Klinker (Sr.), Nathan Richard (Sr.), HunterClark (So.), Andrey Fernandez (So.)Key newcomers: Josh Giris (Fr.), Justin Hadley (Fr.), Tahvo Korhonen (Fr.), LarzMoody (Fr.), Josiah Chapman (Fr.), Jordan Tranten (Fr.), Steven Lawrence (So.),Patrick Taribio (So.), Anthony Cipriano (So.), Ryan Turcotte (Sr.)Outlook: Madison has just two of its seven starters from last season back. Klinkerwill move up from No. 2 singles to No. 1, while Steuber will be asked to take onmore of a leadership role, after playing on the No. 2 doubles team last spring.Coach’s comment: “I think the fact that we overachieved last year gives them theconfidence to assume that we will make it to the playoffs this year. If we can makeit into the semifinals and get to the private schools, I think we’ll have done well.”

GIRLS TENNISCoach: Travis Rogers (1st season)Last season: 3-9Top returners: Jessica Theberge (Jr.), Lindsey Kandiko (Sr.), Logan Bruneau(So.), Brittany Horton (So.), Raeanne Curtis (So.)Key newcomers: Shelly Rackliff (So.), Miranda Carter (Fr.), Elizabeth Richardson(Fr.), Taylor Longstaff (Fr.), Misty Waters (Fr.)Outlook: Rogers has been coaching alongside Madison boys coach RonChillington the last three years. This spring he takes over the Bulldogs girls pro-gram. He inherits a fairly young team with only one senior and one junior.Coach’s comment: “I like our chances. I think we’ll make a run at least into thefirst round of the tournament. Jessica and Lindsey will be competing for the topspot and they’ll have a lot to do with regard to how far we can go this season.”

MAKING THE TIMES: Evan Vincent, who is one of the top race walkers in the state, returns for theBlack Bears this season.

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Ronn Gifford (6th season)Last season: 2nd in Class C, 3rd in KVACTop returners: Harry Lanphear (Sr., throws), Evan Vincent (Sr., race walk, distance), TaylorWatson (Jr., hurdles, sprints), Luke Wenzel (Sr., distance), Kilton Webb (So., distance), TristanStockford (So., hurdles, sprints), Sam Neilson (So., jumps, hurdles), Andrew Lachance (So.,throws), Brandon Guerrette (Sr., throws), Caleb Castonguay (So., sprints, pole vault), Jared Diou-Cass (Jr., jumps, sprints), Chase Gaewski (Sr., jumps, distance), Connor Lacasse (Sr., sprints,middle distance), George Mallen (Sr., sprints), Ian Perry (So., jumps, middle-distance), BreezeRasmussen (Jr., pole vault, throws), Ryan Sansaricq (So., sprints), Korey Solmitz (Jr., sprints,throws)Key newcomers: Nick Barnes (Fr., jumps, hurdles), Andrew Bryant (So., sprints, jumps), TylerDeAngelis (Sr., pole vault, distance), Chad Lee (So., race walk), Eric Manley (Jr., middle-dis-tance), Carson Mitchell (Jr., distance, pole vault), Chris Pelletier (Sr., jumps), Levi Smith (Fr., racewalk), Jason Stevenson (So., distance), Walker Thompson (Sr., middle-distance), Jon Varney (Jr.,sprints)Outlook: The Black Bears should contend for the Class C title thanks to a deep and talented team.Vincent is among the top race walkers in the state while Lanphear and Watson are big point scorers aswell. Watson is the defending Class C state champ in the 110 and 300 hurdle events. He is recoveringfrom a back injury but isn’t expected to miss the end-of-the-year meets. Lanphear won the shot put andfinished third in the discus at the C meet as well.Coach’s comment: “We are pretty well covered in all the events. We have some key points to fill in, butI think we can do it.”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Ronn Gifford (6th season)Last season: 4th in Class C, 5th in KVAC Top returners: Abby Mace (Jr., distance), Maddie Nazar (Sr., jumps,sprints), Harley Graziano (Jr., race walk, hurdles), Alexis Cookson(Sr., race walk, sprints), Caroline Colan (So., distance), DeannaMorris (So., jumps, middle distance), Megan Hall (So., jumps, middledistance), Sydney Gilbert (So., jumps, middle distance), SamanthaCookson (So., throws), Hannah Clough (Jr., sprints), Shelby Potter(Jr., hurdles) Key newcomers: Kate Boyman (Fr., jumps), Nicole Cyr (Jr., throws),Elle Fenton-Hulett (Sr., sprints, jumps), Emma Gyorgy (Fr., jumps),Teeka Jackson (Jr., throws), Grace Kavanah (Fr., sprints, jumps),Mallory MacDonald (Fr., sprints, throws), Ellie Nazar (Fr., sprints,jumps), Abbey Santos (Sr., sprints, jumps), Nicole Castonguay (Sr.,sprints), Outlook:The Black Bears should be in the hunt in Class C thanks to astrong returning cast, led by Mace and Maddie Nazar. Mace is the defend-ing Class C state champion in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 and is one of thetop distance runners in the state. She is working her way slowly into thespring because of a knee injury, but should once again be poised todefend her titles. Nazar won the triple jump and finished third in the longjump at the Class C meet as well.Coach’s comment: “We have some real strength coming back. We havethat early energy.”

He has a solidNo. 1 pitcher in Ballard but therest of the staff is relativelyunproven. The returning playersall played key roles last seasonand should make the BlackBears competitive. Guild takesover as catcher while Lemieuxis counting on some of the othernewcomers to contribute aswell.Coach’s comment: “I’m excitedabout it. I think we have someguys who can step in and provethemselves.”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Mike Morin (11th season)Last season: 6-6, last in Western B quarterfinalsTop returners: Sean Daigle (Sr.), Jason LaPorte (Jr.), Matt Surette (Jr.), PaulJoslyn (Jr.), Sam Bryant (Jr.), Jon Barrett (Jr.)Key newcomers: Tanner Webb (Jr.), Alec Daigle (Fr.), Kelby Mace (Fr.), TommyLanphear (Fr.), Alex Tooth (Fr.), Quintin Dion-Cass (Fr.), Sebastian Pettit (Fr.)Outlook: Daigle should claim the top singles spot again this year for the BlackBears. According to Morin, he became more competitive against top opponentsas last season wore on culminating with a solid match in the playoffs againstGardiner’s Jared Hornecker. Juniors LaPorte and Surette will compete for theother two singles spots.Coach’s comment: “Daigle’s a good worker who gets good results. He’s gothigh expectations of himself. For the doubles teams, I think we’re going to begood. I got a few freshmen that can contribute immediately. I’m going to needsix or seven players. We got some depth.”

She won the discus and shot put events atthe Class C meet and should score well again this spring. MCIhad a low turnout this spring, which Allen said could hurt comechampionship meet time.Coach’s comment: “I think the group of returners and newcom-ers will be very point-worthy for us. If we can get increased pro-duction we’ll be OK in the regular season.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Jason Allen (8th season)Last season: 14th in Class C, 9th in KVACTop returners: Colby Patterson (Sr., sprints), Jeff Paye (Sr.,throws), Craig Reazor (Sr., jumps, pole vault), Trey Vintinner (Jr.,hurdles, jumps), Joe Bowman (Jr., throws), Cameron Neal (Jr., racewalk, pole vault), Jake McGowan (Jr., throws), Sammy Gachagua(Jr., racewalk, distance)Key newcomers: Will Cu (So., sprints), Nick Deng (Jr., sprints),Paul Campbell (Fr., multi)Outlook: The Huskies lack depth but do feature some individu-als who should perform well at the conference and state meets.Patterson leads the way. He won the 400 at the KVAC meet andthen finished third in the event at the Class C state meet.Reazor also had a strong season last spring. He finished fifth inthe pole vault, and sixth in the long and triple jumps at theKVAC meet.Coach’s comment: “We certainly lack depth, but we have someindividuals who can be outstanding.”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Troy Barker (1st season)Last season: 2-10Top returners: Vu Hoang (Sr.), Johan Han (Jr.), Krit Rujiralai (So.),Linh Tran (Jr.), Mike Hwang (Jr.), Wilbur Chu (Jr.)Key newcomers: Richard Kim (Sr.), Aaron Park (Jr.)Outlook: Even though it is Barker’s first season coaching tennis atMCI, he had success coaching tennis while working in Micronesiain the South Pacific. With six of seven starters returning, theHuskies should improve.Coach’s comment: “They are working hard and raised their fitnesslevel a little bit.

GIRLS TENNISCoach: Andy Beach (1st season)Last season: 0-12Top returners: Proud Vidhayascrana (Sr.), Nan PraphatsornMakmettakul (Jr)Key newcomers: Megan Fowler (Jr.), Kylee Alton (Jr.), PicaboMorrell (Jr.) Emily Hoting Fung (Jr.), Vy Dang (Jr.), Lina LinhNguyen (Jr.)Outlook: Vidhayascrana will play at No. 1 for MCI this spring. Anout-of-state transfer, Fowler will probably play No. 2. Fung andMakmettakul are paired up as a double team according to Beach.Coach’s comment: “It’s a lot of fun. The girls are having a goodtime. They are itching to get out there and play. We have a largegroup of girls who are working on basic skills. I think we’ll be com-petitive.”

After ending lastspring with nine players, the Huskies had 26 try out this year.Sinclair and Fowler will both try to replace the loss of pitcherMandy Kennedy to graduation, and both will also be key compo-nents of the offense.Coach’s comment: “This year, we’re able to play people in spe-cific positions. Last year, I had to go with what I had.”

This bodeswell for the girls, who return plenty of strongperformers. Collier finished eighth in the1,600 at the Class A meet last season.VanDerKarr also should produce in a varietyof events.Coach’s comment: “We should do prettywell. We’ll be competitive. We’re trying to sortout all the new kids, but we have somedepth.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Scott Wilson (6th season)Last season: 22nd in Class A, 10th in KVACTop returners: Harlow Ladd (Jr., distance), ShawnVeilleux (Jr., jumps, hurdles, middle-distance),Zach Sutherland (Jr., jumps, hurdles), ArthurConover (So., distance), Tyler Eastler (Sr., throws),Anthony Guimond (Sr., hurdles, race walk)Key newcomers: Elijah Steele (So., jumps,throws).Outlook: Ladd is one of the top distance runnersin the state, but he is working his way back fromtendinitis suffered during the indoor season. TheEagles won’t push him early with the hopes he’llonce again contend in the KVAC and Class Ameets later in the season. Sutherland shouldalso produce well. He finished sixth in the 110hurdles and seventh in the triple jump at theKVAC A meet.Coach’s comment: “The boys will do all right.We might surprise some people down the road.”

The Eagles have anice nucleus of returning players, but somuch is unknown in preseason because ofthe number of newcomers. Garland hadsome back problems last spring butappears to be healthier this season and isthrowing better.Coach’s comment: “We’ve got a lot of tal-ent, and the chemistry is very good, but it’sgetting people acclimated to positionsthey’re not used to playing.”

The junior hit close to.400 last season and moves from second baseto shortstop. Tinsman gives Messalonskee anexperienced catcher, but who will throw to him isa question mark. Coach Bernier is looking forpitchers, and will try a number of players on thehill. The Eagles have talent, it’s just a matter offinding the right spot for many players.Coach’s comment: “We’re trying to find who’sgoing to fit where. We’ll continue to have the goalof making the playoffs.”

Noble could contribute immedi-ately.Coach’s comment: “We should have astrong, competitive team this year. One ofour doubles teams is returning and weshould have competitive singles with twoof the three singles having played lastyear. ”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Stan Kuklinski (5th season)Last season: 6-6, lost in Eastern A quarterfinalsTop returners: Dustin James (Jr.), Seth Wegner (Sr.), Dylan Stinchfield(Sr.), Dylan Toothaker (Sr.), Nick Nile (Sr.), Matt Dustin (Jr.), Jake Veayo(Jr.), Tim Andrews (Sr.), Josh Marcellino (So.), Max Richard (So.), LucasBonnevie (Jr.), Ryan Flanagan (So.).Key newcomers: Luke Wooden (Fr.), Ike Doiron (Fr.), Silas Rogers (Fr.),Zak Kendall (So.) and Nathan Backus (Fr.)Outlook: The Cougars, a club team four seasons ago, have 17 playersout. Matt St. John and Nick Wilkins, who qualified for the state tournamentlast spring, both graduated. Kuklinski thinks James could make an impact.Coach’s comment: “With so many fine returning players mentoring thenewer members of the team and with this team’s skills on the court, thisgroup is bound to be very competitive. Their prospects are limitless.”

GIRLS TENNISCoach: Judy Upham (12th season)Last season: 7-5Top returners: Lena Kendall (Sr.), Abby Flanagan (Sr.), Marlie Mochamer(Sr.), Elizabeth LeClair (Sr.), Gabby Fellman (Sr.), Avonlea Dwight (Sr.)Key newcomers: Cherokee Luker (Sr.), Kaitlyn Burdick (Sr.), CarolynPoliquin (So.), Katie Lewis (So.), Mackenzie Conlogue (So.)Outlook: The Cougars have a number of seniors, including top singlesplayers Kendall and LeClair. Mt. Blue has 41 players on its roster. TheCougars’ goal is to make the Class A playoffs this spring.Coach’s comment: “These girls are ready for the season. My senior cap-tains, Lena Kendall and Liz LeClair are really stepping up to make surethe preseason conditioning is challenging.”

BOYS LACROSSECoach: John McDonough (1st season)Last season: 2-10Top returners: Griffen Conlogue (Sr., A), Alex Hiscock (So., A), Ethen Kyle (Sr., MF), Matt Davis (Sr.,MF), Dillon Burnham (Sr., MF), Phil Wells (Sr., A), AJ Larrabee (Sr., D).Key newcomers: Sam Taylor (Fr.), Jackson Gladowski (Fr.).Outlook: McDonough plans to change the Cougars style of play, focusing on a speed game. He thinksby focusing on skill and speed, rather than physicality, Mt. Blue will match up better with the southernteams. The Cougars lost some talented players, but do have some talent returning.Coach’s comment: “I’m not a big proponent of slow lacrosse. I like fast lacrosse. If we can run, we canstay in a lot of close games.”

BASEBALLCoach: Dan Stefanilo (2nd season)Last season: 4-12Top returners: Dylan Vining (Sr., P-IF), Clint Lowe (Sr., 2B), Jimmy Neal (Sr., P-IF), Nick Hilton (Jr.,OF-P), Blake Hart (Jr., UT-P), Matt Crowley (Jr., C-IF), Bradley Jackson (So., P-IF)Key newcomers: Chad Luker (So., IF), Damian Daggett (Jr., IF-OF), Nathan Kendall (So., C-IF), JamieSchanck (So., IF-C), Andrew Pratt (Fr., C), Cameron Abbott (Fr., IF-OF)Outlook: With Neal, Jackson, Hilton, Hart and Vining, the Cougars have the potential for a very strongpitching staff. An arm injury kept Vining off the mound all of last season, and he’ll start this season inthe bullpen. Vining, Lowe, Neal, Hilton and Crowley are the top returning hitters. Pratt had a strong pre-season, and could see time behind the plate as a freshman.Coach’s comment: “Just like last year, we have some good tools. We just need to keep getting better.”

SOFTBALLCoach: Lisa Dube (2nd season)Last season: 3-13 in Eastern ATop returners: Michaela Yeaton (Sr., P/SS), Hannah Allen (Sr., CF/C), Lindsay St. Laurent (Sr., OF),Jillian Perron (Sr., OF), Tanisha Dellarma (Sr., 3B), Marcy Smith (Sr., 2B), Abbey Ellis (Jr., OF), LexiHoward (Jr., P), Sara Turner (Jr., UT)Key newcomers: Nicole Osborne (Fr., C), Lisa Couture (Fr., OF)Outlook: With a senior-heavy roster, the Cougars are hoping to take the step from being competitive tocontending for a playoff spot. Howard is showing better control this spring, and the defense, led by Allenin center field and Yeaton at short, should also be a plus.Coach’s comment: “I want to improve from last year. I’m hoping to take those close games and turnthose Ls into Ws.”

GOOD LUCK, R OADRUNNERS FROM THESE SPONSORS

BASEBALLCoach: Lee Nile (1st season)Last season: 10-6, reached West C quarterfinalsTop returners: Will London (Sr., P-OF), Parker Kennedy (Jr., C-OF), Josh Beedy (Jr, P-3B), TrentRosenberg (Jr., 2B-P), Jay Chenard (So., SS-P)Key newcomers: Ethan Boyd (Jr., OF), Cody Espeaignnette (So., 2B-SS), Jonathan Hart (Fr., OF), SolFast (Fr., C), Arthur Ryan (Fr., 1B), Callum Dixon (Fr., 3B-P)Outlook: The Roadrunners lost a lot of players to graduation. Nile, a former assistant coach at Mt. Blue,has some young talent to work with. Chenard started at shortstop last season, and Beedy, Rosenberg,London and Kennedy each have varsity experience. The four freshmen could contribute immediately.Coach’s comment: “We’ll pitch and play defense. Throw strikes and clean up behind them.”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Davin Kangas (1st season)Last season: 2-10Top returners: Robert Rivers (Jr.), Forest Mitchell (Sr.), Alex Lopez(Jr.), Chris Murphy (Jr.) Key newcomers: Jamie Howard (Sr.), Keith Mitchell (Fr.), MikeShirtless (So.), Aaron Jalbert (Sr.)Outlook: Kangas takes over the program this year after having playedfor Mt. Abram in the 1990s. He will rely on Forest Mitchell and Riversfor some leadership this spring.Coach’s comment: “I’m really impressesd with their natural skills thatthey are bringing to the team. They show an obvious ability to be agreat group of tennis players.”

GIRLS TENNISCoach: Jamie Bandershall (1st season)Last season: 9-3Top returners: Clayre Plog (Sr.), Staci Plog (Jr..), Lakeesha Woodcock(Sr.)Key newcomers: Samantha Woodcock (Jr.), Ashia Gill (So.), MaggieElliott (Fr.), Mariah Kendall (Fr.), Lindsey Benoit (Fr.), Brandy Pease(Fr.), Alex Harnden (Fr.)Outlook: The Roadrunners have three returners and seven newcomersthis season. Staci Plog is the strongest player so far and has steppedinto a leadership role, according to Bandershall.Coach’s comment: “They’re eager to learn. It will be a building year forsure but we are looking forward to it. This is an impressive group ofyoung ladies.”

SOFTBALLCoach: Jeff Pillsbury (2nd season)Last season: 10-6, lost in Western C semifinalsTop returners: Dani Smith (Sr., C), Colleen Shields (Sr., 1B), Molly McCafferty (Sr., P), Anna McGinness(Sr., 2B), Sam Werzanski (Jr., IF), Bridget Blood (Jr., C/OF), Jill Howard (So., OF), Taylor Henderson (So.,UT), Taylor Jordan (So., 1B/3B/P)Key newcomers: Alex Howard (So., P/OF), Jenny Rowland (So., OF), Tori Beane (So., UT)Outlook: Pillsbury, who is also Mt. Abram’s athletic director, decided to return for another season, and hebrings back a top-notch pitcher in McCafferty. If the Roadrunners decide to use Howard as a pitcher,McCafferty could fill in at almost any position. Smith, a fine catcher, will also help.Coach’s comment: “There’ll be some growing pains. We’ve got a lot of potential, but we’ve got a lot ofwork to do.”

Hayleigh Kein is coming off a strong season in whichshe finished second in the high jump and fifth in the 100 at the Class Bstate meet. Larrabee is one of the top distance runners in the KVAC aswell.Coach’s comment: “We do hope the girls team places higher up in themeets than what we have had in the past.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Kevin Petrak (6th season)Last season: 21st in Class B, 10th in KVACTop returners: Colby Blanchard (Sr., jumps, throws), Seth London(Sr., sprints) Nate Sigouin (Sr., sprints, throws), Curtis Griffin (Jr.,sprints, hurdles), Mitch Ryan (Sr., sprints), Billy Buker (Sr., sprints,jumps), Jake Jones (So., distance), Kyle Hadyniak (Sr., sprints),Tyler Hadyniak (Sr., throws), Tim Bennett (Jr., sprints), JordanFaller (Jr., throws), Owen Freeman (So., throws), Andrew Gibbs(Jr., throws), Sebastian Laforge (Sr., throws), Kris Ravin (Sr.,throws).Key newcomers: Andrew Cloutier (Fr., race walk), SIias Fox (Fr., dis-tance), Cayenne Outerbridge (Fr., distance), Logan Ryan (Fr., sprints,throws).Outlook: The Mustangs had a good turnout — about 30 — thatgives Petrak some optimism heading into the season.

View. TheMustangs don’t have a lot of varsity experience. Davis andNealley are the captains and both have the potential for abreakout season. If Mt. View can improve defensively andcut down on walks allowed, it can improve on last season’swon-loss record.Coach’s comment: “I’ve seen so much improvement. It’sgreat. They know how I work, and we’re going to work hard.To me, that’s fun.”

SOFTBALLCoach: Mike Gagnon (10th season)Last season: 2-14 in Eastern BTop returners: Amanda Hall (Sr.,IF), Channing Murphy (Sr., IF),Vicki Lufkin (Sr., C/IF), BriannaMoody (Sr., OF), Hailey Giggey(Jr., P), LeeAnn Larrabee (Jr.,IF/OF), Fran Stevens (Jr., IF/OF),Wendy Gibbs (Jr., IF), AmandaLarrabee (Jr., IF/OF), BrittanyMasessa (So., OF)Key newcomers: Alex Fowler (Fr.,P), Shaniah Gilley (Fr., C)Outlook: After taking a step back-ward last season, the Mustangs arelooking to bounce back behind agroup of 10 returning players.Gagnon liked what he saw of theteam chemistry in the early going.Coach’s comment: “I really justwant to be competitive. That’s whereI want this program to be.”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: John Hubbell (1st season)Last season: 20th in Class B, 11th in KVACTop returners: Jennifer Hastings (Sr., jumps, middle-distance), ErinTaylor (Jr., sprints, jumps), Brynn Cardozo (Jr., jumps, hurdles),Olivia McAnirlin (So., distance), Kaylee Kershner (So, sprints), LeahEdmondson (Jr., middle-distance), Emily Reynolds (Jr., throws),Erica Smith (So., sprints, jumps), Emily Paige (So., middle-distance)Key newcomers: Marissa Shaw (Jr., distance, throws), HannahParadis (So., middle-distance, jumps), Kerri Guesman (Jr., sprints)Outlook: The Warriors feature a new head coach in Hubbard, whowas an assistant last year. He leads a team that lost some a few keyathletes to graduation. Still, the Warriors should be competitivethanks to a strong group of middle distance runners. Cardozo andTaylor both enjoyed strong seasons last spring.Coach’s comment: “We’ll be competitive in most of our meets. We’llfinish most of our meets in the middle or near the top.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: John Hubbell (1st season)Top returners: Joey Garcia (Jr., race walk), Andrew Moontri (Sr.,throws), Cody Pelletier (Jr., jumps, sprints), Dan Tucker (Sr.,sprints), Austin Chipman (Jr., throws), Lucas Hayden (So., middle-distance, jumps), Nathan Michaud (Jr., middle-distance), JoshPhilbrook (So., throws), Nick Reynolds (So., race walk, jumps),Taylor Kennedy (Jr., throws), Devin Morse (So., jumps, relays)Key newcomers: Jacob Welch (Sr., sprints)Outlook: Numbers are up for the Warriors, who drew about 37 boysthis spring. Hubbell said he is still trying to figure out who will com-pete where, but the team should be competitive in the KVAC.Pelletier performed well in the triple jump last spring.Coach’s comment: “We have some good numbers, and we havesome strong returners. I think we will be more competitive than whatwe were last year.”

SOFTBALLCoach: J.D. McLellan (8th season)Last season: 7-9 in Eastern BTop returners: Sam Richardson (Sr., 1B), Maria Adams (Sr., RF),Rebecca George (Sr., 2B), Becca Boyce (Jr., 1B), Taylor Lovley (So.,3B), Lacey Kent-Webber (So., SS), Ashley Griffith (So., CF)Key newcomers: Danielle George (So., C), Emily Schmidt (Fr., C),Drew Graves (Fr., LF), Sierra Fortin (Fr., P), Tasha Howard (Fr., CF),Becky Orcutt (Fr., P), Taylor Guillero (Fr., OF), Courtney Carlson (Fr.,C), Sarah Packard (Fr., P)Outlook: Like many teams in the area, the Warriors are young andlooking to gain experience. All three pitchers are freshmen, andMcLellan said all three will see time. Having catcher Megan Perry(who tore her ACL in basketball season) back at catcher would havehelped, but McLellan still likes the offense. Nokomis may be able tohave a nice mixture of slap and power hitters.Coach’s comment: “They do like to practice. They like to dive.They’re fearless when it comes to the ball, and that’s what I likeabout them.”

BASEBALLCoach: Jared Foster (4th season)Last season: 5-11Top returners: John Adams (So., P-OF), Justin Amoroso (Jr., P-1B),Cody Brawn (Jr., P-OF), Spencer Hartsgrove (So., SS-P), DylanHawthorne (Sr., 3B-P), Justin Kasprzak (So., 1B-C), Sean Kasprzak(Sr., 2B-OF), Jared Seamans (Sr., P-1B), Casey Wickens (Jr., 3B-OF)Key newcomers: Drew Curran (So., OF-1B), Chandler Foss (So., OF),Jesse Hicks (So., 2B), Jeff Ludden (So., C-2B), Drew Wing (So., OF)Outlook: The Warriors made great improvements last season and,with just two players lost to graduation, feel they’ll be in the mix for aplayoff spot in Eastern Class B. Amoroso and Seamans, a lefty, pro-vide experienced arms at the top of the rotation. Justin Kasprzakand Hartsgrove could provide offense for Nokomis.Coach’s comment: “We should be able to make a lot of little thingshappen. This is a smart group of kids.”

SOFTBALLCoach: Julie Boucher (15th season)Last season: 13-4, lost in Western B quarterfinalsTop returners: Taylor Fillion (Sr., C/OF), Lauren Hall (Sr., P/3B/1B), RebeccaTucci (Sr., C/OF/1B), Katie Wood (Sr., OF), Alexis Priest (Jr., 3B/SS), MarrissaCaskin (Jr., OF), Alyssa Rouleau (So., 2B/SS)Key newcomers: Autumn Ayres (Jr., OF), Brooke Beganny (Jr., OF/1B),Ashley Cheetham (Jr., 3B), Ashley Ward (Jr., OF, C), Brianna Hodgkins (So.,1B), Bryanna Latulippe (So., 1B/OF), Brooke LeBel (So., C/OF), KortniMichaud (So., P/SS), Baylee Ayres (Fr., OF/1B), Lauren Beganny (Fr., P/2B),Kayla Jones (Fr., OF/1B)Outlook: The Raiders graduated one senior from a 13-win team, so they arepredicted to have another successful season. Hall is a reliable pitcher, andMichaud will be able to step in and share the load. The offense looks to bedeep and talented.Coach’s comment: “I always shoot for the top. There are other good teams. Ihope to be at least in the playoffs and further.”

GIRLS TENNISCoach: Jamie Boucher (8th season)Last season: 11-1, lost in Western B finalTop returners: Hannah Langlois (Sr.), Sara Lacroix (Sr.), Darby Beaulieu (Jr.), Brittney Marshall(Sr.), Molly Morrill (Sr.)Key newcomers: Leah Rossi (Jr.), Brianna Ritchie (Sr.), Gabby Green (So.)Outlook: Oak Hill has made it to the Western B finals the last two seasons only to lose to perennialpowerhouse Falmouth on both occasions. The Raiders have five players back, including four seniors.Langlois advanced in the singles tournament last season. Lacroix will be a solid No. 2, whileBeaulieu, Marshall and Morrill will all compete for playing time.Coach’s comment: “The numbers are good and I have around 15 girls. I have quite a few newfreshmen and sophomores so the future looks good. I am optimistic about the season.”

Morrill, one of thetop center fielders in the conference, moves to shortstop while Provost will play center. Defenseshould be one of the team’s strengths.Coach’s comment: “(Defensively), we’re going to be very solid. Offensively, we’ve got three hitterswho are proven.”

BOYS LACROSSECoach: Steve Cobb (1st season)Last season: 1-11Top returners: Nate Rolston (Sr., MF), Trevor Samson (So., MF), Will Aronson (Sr., D), Sam Hatch(Sr., A), Nick Wells (Sr., D), Zach Surette (Sr., D)Key newcomers: John Averill (So.), Bailey Beaulieau (Fr., G), Brian Daniels (So., A), BrandonPotvin (So., MF)Outlook: The Raiders look to bounce back after struggling last season and have a strong defensivegroup to lead the way in front of Beaulieu. Numbers are decent with 28 players on the roster in pre-season.Coach’s comment: “We return a lot of very talented defensemen, a good core group of guys. Andwe have great senior leadership.”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Jamie Boucher (7th season)Last season: 6-6Top returners: Brian Bradstreet (Sr.), Joe Turcotte (Sr.), Jack Champagne (Sr.)Key newcomers: Britin Kramer (So.), Riley Adams (Fr.), Adam Priest (Fr.), Dylan Richards (Sr.)Outlook: With only seven players on the team, Boucher is looking for a few more players.Bradstreet has been Oak Hill’s No. 1 singles player the last two seasons and was able toadvance during the singles tournament a year ago. Turcotte and Champagne will fill in therest of the singles ladder. Champagne played doubles last year while Turcotte played sin-gles.Coach’s comment: “The doubles teams will all be new to high school tennis. So, while the team hasthree players that have played for four years, the other four are rookies.”

SOFTBALLCoach: Lee Johnson (11th season)Last season: 17-2, lost in Eastern A finalTop returners: Whitney Jones (Sr., SS), Mary Baker (Sr., 3B), Kady Esty (Sr., P), Anna Lorette (Jr.,C/1B), Amanda Johnson (Jr., P/2B), Mikayla Fitzmaurice (Jr., OF/3B), Shelby Obert (So., C/SS),Lyndsi Merrill (So., OF/3B)Key newcomers: Adrienne Davis (Sr., OF/IF), Kaitlyn Grover (Jr., OF), Lexia Dorr (Jr., UT),Emmalee Tracy (Jr., P/OF), Kaylin Knott (Jr., UT), Anne-Marie Provencal (So., C/OF), Renee Libby(So., OF/3B), Taylor Johnson (Fr., 1B/P)Outlook: The Indians will start the season with at least five new starters, including their battery.Skowhegan is deep and should always be able to put a quality pitcher in the circle, but the Indianswill probably make some mistakes of inexperience in the early going.Coach’s comment: “They’re very coachable. I’m not sure where we’ll be at the beginning of the sea-son, but at the end of the season, I think we’ll be a pretty good ballclub.”

BASEBALLCoach: Rick York (5th season)Last season: 5-11Top returners: SebastianDumont (Sr., LF-P), Tyler Blanchet(Sr., 2B), Brandon Corson (Sr.,OF), Isaac Wacome (Jr., 1B-P),Dustin Warren (Jr., OF), HenryAmetti (So., C)Key newcomers: Cody Moody(Jr., P), Jonathan Emery (Jr., IF),John Houlihan (Jr., OF), ChaseMcKenney (So., CF), TylerSavage (So., RF), KameronNelson (So., 3B-P), DerekMcCarthy (So., P-OF), TrevorHisler (So., P-IF), Taylor Bacon(So., P-IF), John Swett (Fr., P-SS)Outlook: With 10 newcomers,the Indians are one of theyoungest teams in the KVAC.There’s talent on the roster, justnot much varsity experience.Wacome will bat third in the line-up after hitting .382 last season.Ametti started behind the plateas a freshman last season.Dumont and Blanchet also arekey returning players. The soph-omores will see a lot of time onthe mound.Coach’s comment: “We have toget right down to fundamentalsand coach these kids up.”

BOYS TENNISCoach: Chris King (3rd season)Last season: 0-12Top returners: Derek Withee (Jr.), Sam Wheeler (So.), Jon Lee(So.), Ben Pelletier (Jr.), Pat Poirier (So.)Key newcomers: Jubal Horton (Jr.), Dan Aldrich (Fr.), SamuelEdmondson (Fr.), Devin LaChapelle (Fr.), Jon Paradis (Fr.), AustinFredrick (Fr.), Minh Le (Jr.), Chase Palmer (Jr.), Derek Withee (Jr.)Outlook: A host of new faces is great news for a Skowhegan pro-gram that struggled last season in Class A. King is impressed withthe enthusiasm and attitude of the newcomers so far but is justworking on the basics of the game so any contributions from themare well into the future.Coach’s comment: “I am hoping to win some matches this yearand get some experience for the younger players. The returningplayers have had a few years to learn and have improved since lastyear. There was a nice turnout of freshmen this year and the hopeis that we can build on them for the coming years. The veterans willprovide good leadership to the younger players and help developthem.”

GIRLS TENNISCoach: Andrew Staples (4th season)Last season: 2-10Top returners: Savanna Power (Sr.), Allison Redmond (Jr.),Haley Strout (Jr.), Maddie Brochu (Jr.), Amanda Quirion (Jr.),Hannah Hale (Jr.), Katie Richards (Jr.), Celie Deagle (So.), RyleyBurkhart (So.), Mikayla Bolduc (So.)Key newcomers: Sarah Kirkwood (Sr.), Lilya Bakibayeva (Jr.),Jena Hall (Jr.), Lara Kaiser (Jr.), Melissa Mitchell (So.), BrittneyStetkis (So.) Maria Beaulieu (Fr.)Outlook: Quirion and Redmond are the top players forSkowhegan this spring. Quirion is described by her coach as anaggressive baseline player while Redmond likes to come up tothe net.Coach’s comment: “I was surprised that many of the newcomersthis year were so diverse, age-wise. That should benefit us as agrowing program. We've built a strong foundation over the pastfew seasons that has made us a very cohesive team. We areready to take the next step and start adding wins to the record.”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Dave Evans (1st season)Last season: 10th in KVAC ATop returners: Anna Marshall (Jr., hurdles), Gabrielle Martineau(Sr., jumps), Adrianna Martineau (So., sprints), Brianna LaPlante(Jr., distance)Key newcomers: Nicole Sevey (Jr.), Nicolette Curran (Fr.),Delaney Curran (Fr.), Holly Lupo (Fr.), Allison Lancaster (Fr.)Outlook: The Indians should be competitive in KVAC A. GabrielleMartineau finished sixth in the 100-meter dash at the KVAC Ameet last season and she should be among the team’s top scor-ers. Numbers are up and first-year coach Evans said the teamcould surprise this season.Coach’s comments: “We have a number of girls who could chal-lenge for a spot on the KVAC team. We’re just a few kids awayfrom being a serious challenger in the KVAC.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELDCoach: Dave Evans (1st season)Last season: 6th in KVAC A; 15th in Class ATop returners: Jacob Weese (Jr., throws, jumps), Brian Crawley(Jr., jumps), Derek Lupo (Jr., distance), Dale Bickford (Jr., distance),Kenikki Hutchinson (Jr., distance)Key newcomers: Brandon Stone (Jr., sprints, throws), IsaacDamon (Fr., jumps)Outlook: The Indians don’t have much depth, but should still havesome strong individual performances this spring. Weese shouldcontend in a few throwing events. He was sixth in the shot put and10th in the discus at the KVAC A meet last season.Coach’s comment: “We don’t have the numbers to make an impactthe KVAC’s, but we have some kids who should do really, reallywell. We’ll have some success.”

An impressive 24athletes came out for the team.Coach’s comment: “As usual, we don’t have a bigsingles stud but we have nice depth. The first threeplayers are interchangeable.

They’renewcomers but I see this team going very far. Theyknow the game. They’re a strong team. I seem themdoing quite well. Russo and Walker both are greatleaders and they know how to work the practices.”
