Coach: Chris Albert (first year)

Last year’s record: 7-7-1, lost in Western B quarterfinals

Returning players: Seniors — Jamiel Kidd (MF), Caleb Meservy (SK), Kenyon Fraser (ST); Juniors — Cody Rolston (SW), Dalton Burns (SK), Logan Gardner (FB/MF).

Key losses:  Ben Daggett (MF), Brian Bradstreet (SW), Sam Hatch (FB), Danny Tucker (FB), Adam Beaulieu (F), Tyler Pelletier (G).

Promising newcomers: Juniors — Trevor Sampson (MF), Sam Morin (G), Sean Deans (MF), Austin Posnick (FB); Sophomores — Adam Priest (FB), Kyle Ridley (SK), Riley Adams (SK), Zach Perham (MF); Freshmen — Kam Doyon (MF/SK), Matthew Shedd (MF), Jonathon Harper (SK),  Austin Dube (FB), Kyle Field (FB), Caleb Sturtevant (MF).

Outlook: The Raiders lost a solid group of seniors but return an all-state midfielder in Kidd. With him in the midfield and some veteran forwards back, the Raiders should have some punch up front. The defense should be solid as well.  There’s a lot of incoming talent stepping into new roles, and Albert didn’t take over the program until August. So Oak Hill will have some adjustments early but could build a team that could challenge for a tourney berth.

Coach’s comment: “We will be a competitive team in the conference this year with a solid core of experienced players. We are a very young and relatively inexperienced, but guys will step up as needed and perform at a high level. Our team will be a tough team to play. It could be a good year if we play our cards rights.” Coach Chris Albert.
