Promising newcomers: N/A Outlook: Thin on numbers, the Rebels will field the same team they did last year. A few of the golfers have their sights set on individual states, while the team is hopeful to make it in as a unit, as well. The MVC will be tough to navigate this season. Coach’s comment: ”We hope to be compet it ive w it hin t he leag ue
and contend for one of the state tournament spots.” – Coach Jim Lunney
— Kevin Lavertu, Matt Chouinard; Junior — Mohamed Barre. Girls: Senior — Nicole Court-Menendez; Junior — Emily Craft; Sophomore — Faith Shaw. Key losses: Boys: Hussein Ibrahim, Tanner Adams, Kyle Clabby, Russ Caliguiri; Girls: Ali Butler. Prom ising newcomers : Boy s : Sophomore — Mohamed Mohamed. Girls: Sophomore — Mana Abdi; Freshman — Taylor True.
Outlook: With Lavertu and Barre returning from last year with the addition of Mohamed, the Blue Devil boys have a strong top three and expect to improve upon last year. The girls have only seven r u n ners, so stay ing hea lt hy is crucial. But the addition of Abdi and True enhances their hopes of qualifying for states. Coach’s comment: “We w ill be heavily relying on the back half

Promising newcomers : Sen ior — Matt Bowen (C/LB), Steven Hinkley (WR/DB), Kevin St. Pierre (LB); Juniors — Brian Wigant (C/ LB); Sophomores — Matt Hutchins (DB), Gabe Johnson (WR/DB). Out look : T he Blue Dev i ls got within a chain link of the Class A cha mpion sh ip ga me. T hei r cha nces of ta k ing t hat elusive final step get a huge boost from eight returning starters on both
sides of t he ba ll. Lew iston’s W i ng-T back f ield is loaded with the steady Madden, the grinding McKinnon, the shifty T her r ien a nd t he ex plosive Turcotte. Pandora might be the league’s best two-way tackle. The seconda r y of Ther r ien, McKinnon and Caleb Johnson r e t u r n s i n t a c t . I f t h e r e ’s a c ou nter poi nt to a l l t hat optimism, it’s that Lewiston’s toug hest ga mes — Ba ngor, Lawrence, Brunswick and EL — are on the road.
Coach’s comment: “The advantage of hav i ng so ma ny k id s back from the previous year is that the
learning curve is a lot straighter.” — Coach Bill County

Outlook: With Morse moving to Class B this season, Lewiston is back at t he bottom of t he pack based on last year’s finish, but the Devils do not appear discouraged about it. They k now t hey have
some tough games ahead of them, the athletes harder and expects but they’re ready to fight and hope more commitment on their behalf. to prove to the conference that Tu r n i ng over a new lea f t h i s they’re a new team.
