Coach: Joel Stoneton (eighth year)
Last year’s record: 7-3 lost in Western C semifinals
Returning players: Seniors —Tyler Reeve (T/DE), Chris Bowers (C/DE), Robin Cook (FB/DT).
Key losses: Colby Laflamme (WR/CB), Travis Luce (QB), Ryan Conant (RB/LB), Derek Pamphrey (RB/FS), Eric Duplessis (FB/LB),Zach Barter (DT), Travis Hutchins (FB/LB), Joey Brennan (WR/CB).
Promising newcomers: Senior — Matt Smith (T/DT); Junior — Dany Moody (RB/LB); Sophomores — Jared Hanson (QB), Austin Proctor (QB), Zach Glazier (RB).
Overview: It may be a rebuilding year for the Ramblers, but they did well the last time they faced an alleged rebuilding year, reaching the semfinals in 2009. Most of their experience is up front, where Reeve, Bowers and Cook lead what should be a strong, fast defense. Moody and Glazier are the latest in a long line of athletic running backs. Hanson and Proctor were battling for the starting QB job in preseason.
Coach’s comment: “We’re excited that our lines have got some experience, but we’re quite young.” — Coach Joel Stoneton
