Coach: Mike McGraw (29th year)
Last year’s record: 12-3, lost in Eastern A quarterfinals.
Returning players: Seniors — Eric Michaud (FB), Luke Olehowski (FB), Benji Abdisalan Saban (SK), Ibrahim Achekh (FB), Dahir Muktar (MF), Drew Olehowski (FB), Jake Bergeron (FB); Juniors — Ben Chicoine (MF); Sophomore — Yusuf Yama (MF).
Key losses: Ali Hersi (MF), Caleb Leino (F), Curtis Robinson (MF), Jon McDonough (MF), Showbow Saban (F), Joe Sullivan (FB), Tyler Hartman (MF/FB), Eric Morin (MF), Scott Ouellette (G) Eric Hall (MF), Ryan Lemelin (FB).
Promising newcomers: Seniors — Chris Johnson (SK/FB), Thomas Mufolo (FB), Dennis Graef (MF/SK); Juniors — Spencer Simineau (FB), Doud Idow (FB), Garan Saban (MF), Mohamed Ali (SK), Kusow Aden (MF), Eric Soucy (G); Sophomore — Abdibaari Hersi (MF).
Outlook: The Blue Devils graduated a wealth of talent from last fall’s KVAC title team, including Hersi and Saban, both all-state players. There’s still some depth and skill here, but it will take time for this group to gain varsity experience and develop as a team.
Coach’s comment: We return a good and competitive team but lack varsity match experience. We’ll do well if we play consistently and have that blend of chemistry and hard work.” Coach Mike McGraw.
