Coach: Will McMellon (second year)

Last year’s record: Boys – 9th at Class B states; Girls – 8th at Class B states

Returning skiers: Boys: Seniors — Robbie Sutherland, Tyler Holmquist; Girls: Junior — Katie Morency; Sophomores — Natalie Robbins, Robin Pelkey, Karen Sutherland.

Key losses: N/A.

Promising newcomers: Boys: Sophomore — Dylan Lee; Freshman — Noah Lobozzo.

Outlook: After a tough season at Gray-New Gloucester with a small team that barely had enough to compete, this year’s squad has grown, both in size and in talent. Sutherland and Holmquist on the boys’ side will be skiers to pay attention to, and the younger skiers in the crew have experience in junior racing. The core of the girls’ team is in the sophomore class, and they, too, have some solid talent coming up through the ranks.

Coach’s comment: “I’m thinking we can upset a few people, I think we’re going to be stronger than most people think, and our goal is to finish in the upper middle of the conference.” — Coach Will McMellon
