Coach:  Isaiah Davis (12th year)

Last year’s record: 4-10-1, lost in Western B preliminary

Returning players: Seniors — Billy Clarke (FB), Christian Fullerton (F), Brandon Morissette (MF), Ben Ramser (FB); Juniors — Jon Belanger (FB), Evan Parquette (FB), Anthony Tedesco (MF), Matt Thibodeau (MF), Connor Violette (MF); Sophomores — Ben Fullerton (G), Derek Gosselin (FB), Madison Noel (MF), Tyler Roux (F).

Key losses:  Nate Miller (FB), Zack Fullerton (MF), Zachary Hudner (MF), Korey Mulherin (G/F).

Promising newcomers: Juniors — Reilly Burgess (FB), Brandon Labbe (F); Sophomores — Zach Johnson (MF), Nate Gagnon (G), Drew L’Italien (FB); Freshmen — Tyler Simmons (F).

Outlook: The Hornets started last year 0-5-1 but still managed to earn a playoff spot with a 4-4 record down the stretch. Leavitt returns 13 players, including seven starters from that squad. The Hornets have been building off last year’s late momentum during the off season and are primed to see what can happen this fall.

Coach’s comment: “This team has been working extremely hard since last season ended, and the level of focus so far in the preseason has been great. Our confidence is high, and if we continue to play well as a team, I think we could really surprise some people.” — Coach Isaiah Davis
