Season outlook: With four state championships in the past five seasons, a football dynasty is brewing at Bonny Eagle. While Fitzpatrick Trophy-winning quarterback Nate Doehler has moved on to the University of Maine, the Scots are confident heading into the season. “We expect to again compete for a Western Maine Class A championship and a State Class A championship,” Cooper said.
While the expectations at Bonny Eagle are high, Cooper said he knows that teams will be gunning for the Scots this fall. “It will certainly be a challenge because many teams on our schedule continue to improve,” he said. “The Cumberland County division of the SMAA will be extremely tough this season with great teams like Windham and Deering and teams that continue to improve like South Portland, Cheverus and Portland.”
