Coach: Stacen Doucette (first year)

Last year’s record: 3-6, lost in Western C quarterfinals

Returning players: Seniors — Jon Averill (WR/CB), Aaron Clark (RB/LB), Cody Collingwood (WR/DE), Brian Daniels (OL/DL), Alec Duquette (OL/DE), Richard Fillion (OL/DL), Chris Harlow (OL/DL), Brandon Potvin (RB/DE), Caleb Provost (OL/LB), Mike Saunders (OL/DL), Joel Wells (RB/DB), Donnie Vannah (OL/DL); Juniors — Parker Asselin (QB), Bayley Beaulieu (OL/DL), Luke Washburn (TE/DL); Sophomores — Kyle Flaherty (RB/LB), Alex Mace (RB/LB).

Key losses: Cody Depuy (RB/DB), Zach Leeman (OL/DL), Dylan Mulherin (SE/LB).

Promising newcomers: Senior — Sam Morin (QB/DE), Juniors —  Meagan Beckles (OL/DL), Garrett Labbe (OL/DL), Ryan Stevens (WR/DB), Carlton Banton (WR/DB); Sophomore — Samson Lacroix (TE/DE), Chad Merrill (RB/LB), Adam Merill (WR/DE), Michael Pease (OL/DL), Kyle Tervo (WR/DB), Kody Voisine (OL/DL).

Outlook: Doucette, a long-time assistant at Lisbon, moves up Route 9 to take over the Raiders. Anyone who has watched Lisbon closely over the years should recognize the offense, with lots of motion, shifting, and some option. Asselin, the incumbent, and Morin could split time at QB. Mace and Wells lend speed to a deep and experienced backfield. With nine of their top 10 linemen returning, they have one of the most experienced fronts in the conference. Vannah, an all-conference selection last year, is a disruptive force on the defensive line.

Coach’s comment: “We’re basically going to be an I-formation team and we will throw the ball.” — Coach Stacen Doucette
