Coach’s comment: “I think, simply, that this was your basic rebuilding year. We only had one returning player that had played, so we played six sophomores and juniors. We have a lot of kids coming back with experience and talent. We not only were the youngest team in the league, but we also had the toughest schedule. We had to play Portland, Cheverus and Deering two times each, This was a senior-dominated league, so I think it bodes well for the future that we’re so young. Hopefully, we should be able to benefit from that and be right back up there next year.”
