Coaches Comment: “We have an experienced team with 11 seniors and feel we are very deep. We are looking to find out where all of the pieces will fit. The kids have been working hard and we are excited to get going. There will be a lot of competition for many spots early on in the year.
“New Hampshire Division 1 is always a grind as every team has talent. Londonderry, Pinkerton, Bedford, Bishop Guertin, Portsmouth are among the teams expected to be in the mix. There are no easy days in Division 1.”
