Coach: Mark Renna (third year)

Class: C South

Last year’s results: 4-4, lost in Class C South quarterfinals

Returning athletes: Seniors — Brandon Laflamme (OL/DL), Joe Gurney (OL/DL); Juniors — Eric Thompson (OL/DL), Eric Brown (OL/DL), Boomer Simmons (RB/DB).

Key losses: Austin Chase, Zack Haskell, Triston Herod, Jacob Baggs, Jacob Zeisler

Season outlook: The Patriots lost12 seniors from the first team in program history make the playoffs. Filling those holes and repeating a program record-tying four-win season will be a challenge. Renna has a lot of new faces to the program that can help ease the loss of last year’s senior class.
