Coach: Suzanne Rondeau

Last year’s record: 1-17

Key players: Messina Provencher, Alyssa Severance, Kari Christensen, Lashawna Jackson, Sarah Assante and Jessica MacDonald.

Key games this season: Rondeau said that all of the games on the schedule are key ones for a Bonny Eagle team that is looking to rebound from last year’s 1-17 season.

Season outlook: While a state championship may be out of reach for the Scots, Rondeau said that with an experienced team, Bonny Eagle aims to make the Class A playoffs this season. “We are returning all starters from a year ago, with some very young talent in the mix,” Rondeau said. “The quicker the new players can adapt to the varsity level, the more success we will have this year. We are working hard and looking to make the playoffs.”

Key meets this season: The Scots will face tough opponents such as Scarborough, Gorham, Cheverus, Deering and Thornton Academy as they look to top last season’s record.

Season outlook: Wilkinson is hoping that the Scots improve on last year, where they finished sixth overall at the Class A state championships. With several top runners returning , the Scots should have a shot at improvement. “Our goal is to have fun, show improvement weekly and by the end of the season, be competitive in the state meet,” Wilkinson said.

Coach: Laura Branch

Last year’s record: Girls: won two meets; Boys: won one meet

Key meets this season: The first meet of the season against Windham on Dec. 5 at St. Joe’s College and all four home meets at St. Joe’s against teams such as Deering and Portland.

Season outlook: The Scots have a small team on both the boys and girls teams, which makes it tough to win dual meets against larger teams, but Branch said that there are other ways to win. “I want to get as many kids as possible to make cut times for the state championships and help them to improve on their personal bests,” Branch said.

Wrestling

How did last year end: Seventh at Class A state championship meet; Steve Martin 152-pound state champion

Key games this season: Dec. 6 @ Biddeford; Dec. 15 vs. Scarborough; Dec. 20 vs. Kennebunk

Outlook: The Scots have lost in the quarterfinals the past two seasons, with last year’s loss being especially tough to take as it came at the hands of No. 12 Scarborough. Look for the Scots to rebound on the ice this season and once again be among the top teams in Class A come tournament time.
