JV Coach Dave Simpson

This will be Coach Simpson 14th year in the Mt. Blue Basketball Program as J.V. Coach he has had 9 winning season, after a very successful career at the Mt. Blue Middle School. He says he learned much of his coaching while growing up watching High School Playoffs Games (Tech Tourney Games), in the balconies of the Old Boston Garden. His philophy to game game is a carbon copy of Coach Bessey. It's very scary how much they think alike. This season number 9 his team got him his won 100th win (he has 101 against 59 loses for a .639 perceentage) at Brewer.

Freshman Coach :
Sam Boynton
 
This is Coach Boynton second year at Mt. blue after a very successful first year.We feel we struck gold when we found him to coach our freshman team. He played his high school basketball at Erskine High School and played for Coach Meader at U.M. He is goes to U.M.F. to get a degree in teaching and has worked with Mr. Ronald (History Department) as a student teacher at Mt. Blue High School. He's a a smart guy who has a 4.0 G.P.H. along with a great knowledge of the game of basketball. We believe you'll find just like we have, that Coach Boynton has been great addition to our staff.
