Cross Country
Coaches: Jeff Riddle (head), Emily Bland (asst.)
Last year’s record: Boys – 13-1 regular season, fourth at Regionals, sixth at States; girls – 13-2 regular season, seventh at Regionals, eighth at States
Key athletes: John Bland (Captain), Ben Breton, Jeremy Bennett, Steven Lailer, Reese Preston, Julia Rand (Captain), Joelle Bockus, Ali Wintle, Amanda Turner, McKenzie Pepin, Sierra Yost, Eliza Bennett
Outlook: Returning to States is Riddle’s ultimate goal for his squad; to that end, he hopes to help each athlete improve each week. The Eagles look to remain competitive, with every runner setting personal bests while contributing to their team. “We’ll be counting on all our athletes this season to progress and represent us in the Second 7 and Regional meets.”
Field Hockey
Coach: Melissa Dubois
Last year’s record: 5-9
Key players: Erin Malloy, Matti Marcello, Hannah Skvorak, Alex Lewis
Key games: Bonny Eagle, Gorham, Cheverus
Outlook: Dubois’s aim is straightforward: “Make it to postseason play.”
Golf
Coach: Adam Manzo
Last year’s record: 4-6
Key players: Eli Williams (sr., Captain), Alex Spiller (jr.), Bryce Rolfe (jr.)
Key matches: Greely, Thornton, Gorham
Outlook: Windham posted a strong 2013, finished fourth in their division, and return 10 players this year. Williams and Spiller lead the team; both were second-team all-star selections last season. “We play in arguably the toughest division in the state,” Manzo says, “so we are optimistic that with all the work our team has done over the summer, we have a strong chance to qualify for the Team State Championship in October.”
Boys Soccer
Coach: Walter Le Blanc (second year)
Last year’s record: 3-8-3
Key players: Josh Dugas (F), Brendan Arsenault (F), Ryan Gorman (F), Austin Farwell (M), Brandon Drouin (M), Jeff Pollard (B), Robert Iniss (B)
Key games: Gorham, Deering, Portland, Scarborough
Outlook: “We’re very young and have a lot of work ahead of us,” says Le Blanc, before skewing optimistic: “We view every game as an opportunity to grow and hope to seek a spot in the postseason.”
Girls Soccer
Coach: Deb Lebel (fourth year)
Last year’s record: 17-1, Class A State Champions
Key players: Alana Dube (sr.), Hannah Haskell (sr.), Melissa Morton (sr.), Elizabeth Mycoch (sr.), Jordan Sargent (sr.), Jenna Soucy (sr.), Cassie Symonds (sr.), Shannon Valente (sr.)
Key games: Scarborough, Thornton, Gorham, Marshwood
Outlook: “We hope to be very competitive this year,” Lebel says. With 12 returning players, many of whom played critical roles in last year’s title-taking run, the Lady Eagles are poised to go far once again.
Volleyball
Coach: Chris Cloutier (first year)
Last year’s record: 5-10
Key players: Bailey Card (sr., Captain); Crystal Frappier (sr., Captain); Brianne Fullarton (sr., Captain); Melanie Aldrich (jr.), Jamie Jannarone (so.)
Key matches: Falmouth, Biddeford
Outlook: Cloutier, President of the Maine State Volleyball Association, brings plenty of experience to the Windham fold. While many coaches would consider the team’s relative youth (the Lady Eagles sport just five seniors) a liability, Cloutier is excited to build for the future.
