Coach: Bill Acritelli (third year)
Last year’s record: Boys: 12th at Class C states
Returning skiers: Boys: Seniors — Jon Neil, Kyle Sawyer, Aaron Black; Juniors — Owen Timberlake, Greg Whitney, Zach Butterfield. Girls: Juniors — Emily Acritelli, Cassidy Couture.
Key losses: Travis Neil, David Newman.
Promising newcomers: Boys: Freshmen — Sam Brenner, Alex Greenleaf.
Outlook: Another case of an MVC team being heavy with male skiers. The girls’ team will not compete as a unit, but both individuals have some lofty goals for this season. The boys, meanwhile, will likely be better than a year ago, though in Class B, the competition will also be tougher.
Coach’s comment: “As long as the kids work hard and they enjoy it, that’s what’s important. We’re looking forward to putting in a solid year.” — Coach Bill Acritelli.
