Coaches Comment: The Pythons are coming off their first postseason win in Division II since 2004! Despite losing three all-state players to graduation, the Pythons return a lot of talent and varsity experience. Captain Reagan Brunelle is the anchor behind the plate and will work closely with this experienced pitching staff. JJ Jepson, Bobby Charette and Jarrod Liardo are all returning starters who have thrown lots of varsity innings over their career. The Pythons will lean on their pitching, defense and team speed once again as they look to make a deeper run in the postseason. With the new layout of Division II things look to be wide open, I expect Hollis-Brookline, Bow, Milford, John-Stark and Souhegan to all compete for the title. There are also strong programs in the north who we don’t see like Plymouth and Kennett. This is a very deep and well-coached division.
