Coach’s comment: “The Red Raiders graduated one player last year and return their starting nine and complete pitching staff from a team that competed for a state championship in 2024. Belmont hopes to capitalize on their experience to help pace the season. Anakin Underhill anchors the starting rotation made up of junior Wyatt Divers and seniors Brady Thurber and Michael Collette. Returning offensive leaders, Underhill, Collette, Divers, as well as Owen Waldron, Jaxson Embree, and Wyatt Bamford look to provide support to the pitching staff as well as an improved defense .
New Hampshire Division 3 figures to be very deep and wide open this year. Bishop Brady, White Mountains, Conant, Monadnock, Fall Mountain, Gilford and Derryfield are among several teams expected to be in the mix.”
