Coach: Trevis Knapp (second year)

Last year’s record: 3-15

Returning players: Senior — Tyler Hupper (6-5 center), Robert Rivers; Juniors — Ethan Boyd (6-0 guard), Ian James (6-2 forward), Cody Espeaignette.

Key losses: Keenan Dock, Aaron Jalbert.

Promising newcomers: Sophomores — Nicholas Cole, Calum Dixon, Solomon Fast, David Ricker, Keegan Rolbiecki, Arthur Ryan, Amos Withee; Freshmen — Dylan Ireland.

Outlook: The Roadrunners remain one of the youngest teams in the MVC. They will build around Hupper, a three-year starter in the low post. With Carrabec dropping its varsity program this season, Mt. Abram will face more long trips and a ramped-up schedule. It will be a baptism by fire, but the pieces are in place for an optimistic three-year plan.
