Coach: Rick Carleton (five years)

Last year’s result: 0-9.

Returning athletes: Senior — Mike Hampton; Juniors — Chad Buotte, Shelby Bryant; Sophomores — Kyle Melcher, Laura Wilkins.

Key losses: Chris Bubier, Evan Castonguay.

Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Nathan Holt, Brandon Anctil.

Season outlook: The youth movement is on at Spruce Mountain after it took its lumps last year. The Phoenix will position two freshman in their Nos. 1 and 2 slots. But Spruce Mountain does have a handful of veterans back in the fold.
