Coach: Ric Swett (13th year)
Conference: Mid-State; Class: Class B
Last year’s results: Seventh in Mid-State League; 11th in Class B
Returning athletes: Senior —Danny Buteau (132/138); Sophomore — Zoe Buteau (119/126), Connor Burns (138/145) .
Key losses: Brendon Tervo.
Promising newcomers: Sophomore — Maggie St. Germainn (113); Freshman — Aiden Shannon (182/195).
Season outlook: A thin roster got even worse for the Raiders when they lost three wrestlers to grades in the opening week. Swett hopes those remaining feed off of the skills of Danny Buteau, a three-time state champion who holds every school record. Younger sister Zoe is an all-american girls’ wrestler who could challenge for a spot on the medal stand at states. St. Germainn is a cheerleader turned wreslter, while Burns has shown improvement since last year.
