Season outlook: Moving from a team with a losing record to an even record last season was exciting for the Patriots, who learned how to win again. Now, for the next step. Gray-New Gloucester is looking to make some changes in its lineup and will focus on smart play in order to continue our success into this season. They graduated six seniors, which will open up opportunities this year for some fresh talent to take the field.
