Overview: Reunited and it feels so good. Most of the inaugural edition of the Phoenix played together through youth football all the way up to the eighth grade. Nevertheless, there will be an adjustment period, especially for the Livermore Falls contingent getting used to the plays, schemes, formations and techniques Bonnevie has brought with him from Jay. Unlike recent years when they were separated into two much smaller squads, the Phoenix will be able to withstand injuries and the overall wear-and-tear of the season. The first half of the schedule is tough, so there will be no easing their way into Class B.

Coach’s comment: “The kids have come together really well.” — Coach Mark Bonnevie
