Class B states Returning skiers: Boys: Seniors — Trent Rosenberg, Nick Carlton, Adian Drumstas; Junior — Jay Chenard; Sophomore — Thomas Fa rraday. Girls : Junior — Sadie Ja mes ; Sophomores — Emma Houston, Maggie Elliott, Ivy Mitman. Key losses: None given. Promising newcomers: Boys: Freshmen —
Michael Demming, Trevor Brackley. Girls: Freshmen — Hattie Rosenberg, Reilley Romanoski. Outlook: A ver y successf ul season a ll around for the Mt. Abram program last season, and the teams are largely intact for another run toward an MVC crown. James leads the girls and will be a top contender at states. The boys’ pack should be solid, and some good, young skiers continue to filter into both teams every year. C oach’s c om ment : ” T h i s i s a v er y enthusiastic bunch that likes to work hard
Barr y; Sophomores — Elise Luce, Emily Listowich. Key losses: None. Promising newcomers: Boys: Seniors — Parker Kennedy, Quincy Mitman, Tristan Fr ye. Girls : Senior — Ash ley Shur t lef f; Freshmen — Ruthie Fault, Hattie Rosenberg. Outlook: The girls are primed for a run at a state title, while the boys finally have some depth. The Luces lead the girls’ squad that placed well in a tough Class B field a year ago. The entire team returns, has added some solid depth, and should be strong all season
in both the MVC and in state competition. The boys will be deeper than in years past and will almost undoubtedly improve upon last year’s standing. Coach’s comment: “The (girls’) team hopes to build on last year’s finish with a stronger, full team. We are striving to not finish second this year, but to win both events at states ... Should the boys come along as anticipated, then the team should move up in the standings and be competitive.” — Coach Bob Luce
Annie Dexter (5-10 center), Jill Howard (57 for ward), Miranda Smith (5-8 center/ forward), Lyndsay Beane (5-5 guard). Key losses: Colleen Shields (forward), Dani Smith (guard). Promising newcomers: Junior — Staci Plog (5-6 forward); Sophomore — Alex Harnden (5-4 guard); Freshmen — Brooke Millbury (55 guard). Outlook: The Roadrunners return seven players from last year, including starters
Tori Beane, Luce, Howard and Smith. Mt. Abram is still young with just one senior, but this returning group has been together for a few years. Lisherness hopes that seasoning pays off. He expects the Roadrunners to be competitive throughout the MVC and challenge for a tourney spot. Coach’s comment: “I’m very happy with what I’ve seen so far. We had a very good summer, and the girls gained a lot of confidence.” — Coach Doug Lisherness
(6-5 center), Robert Rivers; Juniors — Ethan Boyd (6-0 guard), Ian James (6-2 forward), Cody Espeaignette. Key losses: Keenan Dock, Aaron Jalbert.

Outlook: The Roadrunners remain one of the youngest teams in the MVC. They will build around Hupper, a three-year starter in the low post. With Carrabec dropping its varsity program this season, Mt. Abram will face more long trips and a ramped-up schedule. It will be a baptism by fire, but the pieces are in place for an optimistic three-year plan.
