Coach: Tim Farrar (fifth year)

Last year’s record: 15-4, lost in Eastern Class A quarterfinal

Returning players: Seniors — Steven Patrie (6-5 forward), Josh Thomas (6-0 guard), Donne Agossou (6-2 guard), Adam Poliquin (5-10 guard), Abdi Hussein (6-2 forward).

Key losses: Shawn Ricker (6-2 guard), Luke Cote (6-1 guard), Corbin Hyde (6-3 forward), Jake Dumas (6-4 center), Cody Mousseau (6-2 forward), Erik Wilson (6-4 center).

Promising newcomers: Seniors — Daniel Fortier (5-8 guard), Chris Suazo (6-0 forward); Juniors — Matt Hudson (6-3 forward), Ben Howell (5-9 guard), Mohamed Mohamud (6-0 guard/forward); Sophomores — Quintarian Brown (6-2 forward), Isaiah Harris (6-2 forward).

Outlook: Lewiston returns three players who saw starting time on a team that reached the KVAC championship game, including leading scorer Thomas. Farrar is excited about the talent and versatility of his newcomers, whom he calls “the biggest bunch of basketball junkies I have had here at Lewiston.” Lewiston lost some size to graduation and will need to compensate with quickness. The experience of competing in tough games against Hampden, Edward Little, Lawrence and Bangor the past two seasons should continue paying dividends.

Coach’s comment: “Every player can dribble, pass and shoot. If we can learn to defend as a team, we will have a fun year.” — Coach Tim Farrar
