Brandon Rogers, our coaches, and our volunteers share high expectations for professionalism and sportsmanship; this year’s program is first rate. I am so proud of all the players, coaches, and volunteers at the middle school and high school levels that make up Wiscasset Athletics.

"We have our eyes on a very bright future and invite everyone in the community to come out to our home games and see what’s going on. Our underdog days are done."
