Football
Coach: Dave Sterling (1st year)
Last year’s record 0-8-Missed playoffs
Players to watch: seniors: Ken Mancuso TB/DB, Charles Mollica G/DT, Darren Smith TB/LB, Logan Oliver TE/DE, junior Max Erwin QB/DB
Outlook: The Red Storm should show much improvement over last year when they were winless. They have a solid core and a new coach and that should lead to a few victories.
Girls Cross Country
Coach: Ron Kelly (36th year)
Last year’s record:16-0-1st Western A Regional, 3rd in state meet
Runners to watch: Biz Ahern, junior; Whitney Chamberlain, junior; Libby Davis, sophomore; Melissa Dellatore, sophomore; Sarah Dugas, freshman; Hannah Freeman, freshman; Kathleen Given, senior; Ashley Jesseman, junior; Erin McElwain, junior
Coach’s outlook: “A very balanced team with two or three battling for the team’s top honors. It is the best pack of runners I have had for a long time. The team is eight to ten deep with just three seniors. The team began the season in great shape and won the SMAA relays. As the pack closes the gap on other teams’ top runners, we will become a stronger team. The sophomores and juniors have a lot of experience.”
Boys Cross Country
Coach: Jim Harmon (10th year)
Last year’s record: Undefeated all season- Class A State Champions
Runners to watch: Ben Violette, Craig Robinson, Sam Chick, Jay Vachon, Sean Griffin, Joe Prosack, Nick Violette, and Brad Nakanishi.
Coach’s outlook: “We should have a very good season and should finish in the top five at the state meet.”

Last year’s record: 11-4-Lost in the quarterfinal round against Westbrook
Players to watch: Sarah Bonenfant, Brittany Ross
Coach’s outlook: “With 14 seniors graduating and only four returning starters we needed to fill quite a few gaps, but we feel we have put together the best group of talented athletes this program has ever had. Each position is solid and getting stronger day by day. We have very high expectations.”
Golf
Coach: Mike Murphy (19th year)
Last year’s record: 7-3-Missed state tournament

Last year’s record: 13-0-1-Lost in state final in double overtime 1-0
Players to watch: Chris Kipp, Buddy Reid, Ian Philbrick, Nate Gove

Coach: Mike Farley (3rd year)
Last year’s record: 11-2-1-Lost in regional final
