Coach: Amanda Harmon (sixth year)

Conference: WMC; Class: B

Last year’s record: 12-6, lost in Western B semifinal

Returning athletes: Senior — Kaelyn Woods (OF); Junior — Haley True (P/1b); Sophomore — Alie Martel (P).

Key losses: Maria Valente (SS), Sara Carder (2b), Nicole Lowell (3b), Crystal McLean (OF).

Season outlook: The Patriots lost four seniors and three starters from last year’s team. That leaves holes to fill, but Gray-NG has some experience back and are anxious to make another postseason run.
