Coach: Mike Adams (10th year)

Last year’s record: 19-3, Eastern Class A champions; lost 55-50 to Cheverus in state championship.

Returning letter winners: Seniors — Bo Leary (6-4 center/forward), Ben Armstrong (6-9 center), Timmy Mains (5-9 guard), Brandon Giguere (6-1 forward), Cody Nicholas (6-0 guard); Sophomore — Quin Leary (6-3 forward).

Key losses: Yusuf Iman, James Philbrook.

Promising newcomers: Seniors — Luis Rovayo (5-9 guard), Garrett Weldon (6-0 guard), Cam Bradbury (5-9 guard); Juniors — Josh Delong (5-9 guard), Omar Haji-Hersi (6-3 forward), Ian Therriault (6-2 guard); Sophomore — Sean Ford (6-2 forward); Freshman — Nate Alexander (6-2 forward).

Outlook: Edward Little has evolved into the definition of a powerhouse, staying at the top of the KVAC and Eastern Class A with an ever-changing cast of characters. With no fewer than six recent Red Eddies now playing in Division II or III college hoop, EL remains the South division favorite and is weighed as a contender for its third straight regional title. The Leary brothers will provide scoring and rebounding. Mains is tireless, fearless and one of the premier point guards in the state. EL will need someone to step forward and replace Iman’s leadership and willingness to take the big shot in a close game.

Coach’s comment: “We have some guys who might have played a lot already for other programs and haven’t had a chance to dress for us. Hopefully they’ll be ready to step up themselves.” — Coach Mike Adams
