Coach: Annette Caldwell (second year)

Last year’s record:  3-15

Returning letter winners: Seniors — Caitlin Henderson (5-9 center), Kaitlyn Rines (5-10 forward), Abby Bragg (5-6 guard), Danielle Patrie (5-8 forward); Juniors — Dakota Warren (5-6 guard), Elizabeth Strout (5-4 guard), Jessica Cooper (5-8 forward); Sophomore — Gabby Therriault (5-8 forward), Hannah Gallant (5-9 forward), Abby Campbell (5-4 guard), Sami Zak (5-4 guard), Alannah Knox  (5-5 forward).

Key losses: Alicia Patrie (guard), Ally Martin (guard), Sami Jones (forward).

Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Payton Lowell (5-3 guard), Naudia Wesley (5-6 guard).

Outlook: After just three wins last year, the Bucks return most of its team with hopes of challening for a tourney spot in Western D. Buckfield has an experienced group returning and some size to work with. That should make them a little more competitive in the East-West Conference.

Coach’s comment: “We hope to be in the basketball tournament in Februrary. The team continues to make growth and we should be in most games we play this season.”
