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.

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.

That has expectations high for this club. Coach’s comment: “This season could be one of the best in recent history for the Lumberjacks. One of our biggest advantages this year is the schedule, with all three of our New Hampshire opponents coming to Hebron. Last year, they held Hebron to just two goals in three games and accounted for two losses and a tie. We expect that hosting t hose opponents at home t his year will make for more success. They w i l l once aga in be good tests outside of Maine, and they could make or break the season.” – Coach Colin Griggs

There is nothing here to say that the Vikings won’t be at least as strong as last season, and will be in the hunt for the KVAC crown again this season. The biggest lesson still to learn here is how to win away from the friendly confines
of the team’s home course. Coach’s comment: ”We have no superstars here, but we have a good group of very steady, competitive golfers. We have five or six guys that can all play at the top on any given day. I’d expect we’ll be pretty strong.” – Coach Mike Grace

The team is missing a ton of talent from each of last year’s teams, but also combining will help minimize some of those effects. Coach’s comment: ”We’ve had a great summer w it h t he team together.

gives the Falcons experience, depth and hopes of great improvement this season. Coach’s comment: “With a lot of young players to challenge and push the older guys, this should be more than a building year.

Promising newcomers: Freshmen — A le x M a c e ( QB/DB ) , Ky le Flaherty (RB/LB), Kyle Tervo (RB/ LB), Brandon Pomerleau (OL/DL), Mike Pease (OL/DL). Overview: The Raiders only have four seniors back, but they don’t lack experience. The junior class played a key role in reaching the semifinals last year, and the hope
is to take the next step in 2011. DePuy and Wells give them bigplay ability, while Colling wood gives them size in the backfield. They w ill be running behind a veteran line, the team’s strength.
Key losses: Abby Goulet (F), Becca Belaire (F), Hannah Langlois (FB), Katie Wood (FB) Promising newcomers: Juniors — Desiree Johns (G), Kayla Ross (MF); Sophomore — Kelsey Collins (G), Sarah Carpenter (FB); Freshmen — Toni Hart (FB), Vanessa Wright (MF). Outlook: The Raiders lost some experienced talent, including allconference defenders in Langlois and Wood. Still, there’s a strong returning group that was a key part
of the Raiders run to the playoffs last fall after many near-misses i n prev ious seasons. Beau l ieu is a threat up front after playing mostly in the goal last year. There’s experience in the midfield and on defense as well. Coach’s comment: “Expect a good passing team with a very strong defense. We look for midfielders to control the pace of the game a nd feed accurate strikers. We have a very deep team. We should be able to keep fresh feet on the

Outlook: The Raiders lost a solid group of seniors but return an allstate midfielder in Kidd. With him in the midfield and some veteran forwards returning, the Raiders should have some punch up front. The defense should be solid as
well. There’s a lot of incoming talent stepping into new roles, and Albert didn’t take over the program until August. So Oak Hill will have some adjustments early but could build a team that could challenge for a tourney berth.

Outlook: Wright returns to the Knights after a stint at Leavitt. He coached Poland during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. With three wins
last year, the program made a step forward, and the Knights hope to bu i ld on t hat a nd continue to improve. C o a c h’s c om m e nt : “T he program has made progress in the past two years, but we still have a lot of work to do to be a competitive team in WMC.

Promising newcomers: Juniors — Katie Letourneau (MF), Johanna Moody (FB), Sarah Mickool (FB), Brittina Maheux (FB); Sophomore — Val Ashcroft (F); Freshmen — Jessie Quint (FB), Haley Whitworth (G).

Over view: Pola nd appea red to turn a corner in October 2010, playing some of the best football in its short history as a program a nd putt ing toget her a pa ir of impressive wins late in the season. Add the move from Class B to Class C and the christening of lights at their field, and the Knights won’t lack inspiration this fall. Tibbetts,
a for mer Pol a nd a s si st a nt who has coached with Maine legends John Wolfgra m a nd Mike Landry, is excited about his team’s work ethic. Poland w ill be a younger team t his season, and some of its best athletes will be adapting to new positions. A top-eight finish and the first-ever playoff berth would represent great progress. Coach’s comment : “I see a rea l com m it ment to ta k i ng care of the details. In practice, t he k ids w ill say, ‘Let’s do one
Freshmen — Amanda Dube (MF), Ainsley Parent (F), Abbie L’Italien (D), Kelsey DeBurra (MF/F). Outlook : Pola nd a nt icipates a competitive season. One of the team’s stated goals is to improve up front and put more balls into the cage. The team will rely on the fresh talent, combined with seasoned leadership. Led by co-captains King and Brousseau (junior), the Knights return nine starters to the lineup.
