Coach: Jacob Johnston (first year)

Last year’s record: Boys: 10th at Class A states.

Returning skiers: Boys: Seniors — Drew Bennett, Andrew Gaudette, Jacob Harris, Travis Nichols; Sophomores — Eban Johnson, Taylor Benson. Girls: Senior — Katlyn Davis.

Key losses: Nick Tredwell.

Promising newcomers: Boys: Freshmen — Scott Marshall, Alex Landry, Lance Harder. Girls: Freshmen — Addison Gagnon, Morgan Knowlton, Abigail Gaudette.

Outlook: After a season without a full girls’ squad, the Hornets are back and ready to be in the title talk. The big freshman class will contribute for both the boys’ and girls’ teams, and the move to Class B will be a good test for the team.

Coach’s comment: “The athletes are ready to race and we’re looking forward to being a big part of the competition.” — Coach Jacob Johnston
