Scott Chadbourne was our leading scorer last year and our second leading rebounder last season as a sophomore. Looking for him to take a big leap in efficiency and consistency in his junior season.

Dawson Simpson Started multiple games for us last season and brings good communication and leadership to our team going into his senior year.

Gabe Soctomah had limited playing time as a junior, but we are looking forward to him taking a big leap and controlling some of the point guard play for us with quickness and ability to get anywhere on the floor off the dribble.

Ty Cobb- Will step into a gap at big man, providing Hustle, rebounding, and playmaking out of the post.

Ben Higgins started and played a good role on the team last season and looks to grow on that experience with more confidence.

Gaige Tracy will be a hustle man that rebounds, gets on the floor and provides a spark for our team.

Newcomers:
Brady Gaw will make an immediate impact on the offense as a freshman being able to shoot the three and finish well around the basket while running a lot of point guard for us.

Noah Kain will look to contribute as a freshman while stretching the floor and being a solid rebounder for us.

Maximilian Dähn will look to use his height to defend the rim and rebound for us.

Schedule: The Pirates open the season at Lee Academy on December 10th. The home opener is December 12th against Greenville. They end the calendar year with three road games. Eastern Maine Sports Media will have live coverage of the game on January 2nd when PCHS plays host to Lee. We will also have live broadcasts of Pirates home games on January 7th against Valley, January 27th against Dexter, and Central on January 30th along with the game at Dexter on February 2nd.
