Overview:  The Pnoenix combine the programs from Livermore Falls and Jay. Both squads missed the playoffs last fall. So the Phoenix are anxious to earn a playoff berth. Acritelli has enough depth to have a JV program and a solid group of seniors to lead the way. It has taken some time to get the players accustomed to playing together, but the Phoenix are excited to show what they can do this season.

Coach’s comment: “I am thrilled to be able to coach this team. We have a great bunch of kids that have been working hard through the summer as well as preseason. If these kids can play to their potential, it should be a great season. It is a long season with a lot of work to do. Playing in the MVC and then going into the B playoffs is going to be tough, but the kids are working hard and looking forward to any challenges set in front of them.” — Bill Acritelli
