High school football practices started today across the state. Here are some of the questions facing teams from central Maine as they begin workouts:
• Messalonskee has running back Keenan Knox, who missed most of last season with a concussion, back. Quarterback Travis St. Pierre transferred to Kents Hill, so who will be under center for the Eagles?
• Mt. Blue graduated two-year starter Ryan Backus at quarterback. Who will coach Gary Parlin tab as the man to run the Cougars’ spread offense?
• Kyle Bishop is a three-year starter at quarterback for Waterville, but what kind of weapons will he have around him in the Panthers’ offense?
• Mt. View earned its first two varsity wins in 2009. Are the Mustangs ready to take another step and contend for a playoff spot in the Little Ten Conference?
• Depth became a concern at Winslow last season. Do the Black Raiders have the numbers to bounce back into contention in the Pine Tree Conference Class B?
Teams can’t have a full contact practice until the end of the week, which doesn’t give much time to prepare for scrimmages next Monday. A lot of questions will probably go unanswered until the regular season.
