Coach: Ric Swett (12th year)
Conference: Mid-State Class: B
Last year’s record: 11-16-2, fifth in league, fourth at regional, ninth in state
Returning athletes: Seniors — Brendon Tervo (170/182), Sam Woodard (160/170), Zach Cloutier (132/138), Kayin Gagne (160); Juniors — Danny Buteau (120/126).
Key losses: Frank Smith III, Logan Childs.
Promising newcomers: Sophomore — Kyle Dostie (145); Freshmen — Zoe Buteau (126/132), Connor Burns (132/138).
Outlook: Keep an eye on the brother-sister tandem of Danny and Zoe Buteau. Danny is a two-time regional and state champion who is likely to pass 100 wins early this season. Zoe is a girls’ national champion and should contribute immediately. Cloutier finished third in the state a year ago, and Tervo and Woodard are multi-time state qualifiers. Oak Hill’s dual-meet record will struggle due to low numbers, but the talent should be fun to watch as the Raiders pursue individual hardware in January and February.
