Coach: Chris Reed (first year)

Last year’s record: 8-12, lost in Western Class D quarterfinals

Returning players: Seniors — Scott Pierce (6-2 forward); Juniors — Robert Rowe (6-0 forward), Micah Madore (5-6 guard), Mitchell Smith (5-5 guard).

Key losses: Trevor Averill, Cody Barker, Alan Hedrick, Chase Barnes, Austin Dooley.

Promising newcomers: Seniors — Tyler Goyette (6-0 guard), Jeff Pepin (6-1 forward); Juniors — Keenan Stockdale (6-1 guard/forward), Jonah Williams (6-1 guard/forward); Sophomore — Jared Eastman (5-9 guard).

Outlook: Although there will be an all-new starting five, first-year coach Reed is optimistic. Buckfield lacks size but should compensate with athleticism. Pierce, Rowe and Madore saw minutes in the 2011-12 playoffs. Reed expects that his team’s conditioning and unselfishness will pay off as the season progresses.

Coach’s comment: “In my mind it is a reasonable goal to return to Augusta and win a game. This team will be in shape and has the tools.” — Coach Chris Reed
