Prep Boys Preview: Dislodging Berkshire, South Kent won’t be easy

In Class A, last season ended with Berkshire outclassing Worcester Academy in the final, and there’s no reason to think either of those two programs will take a step back. Berkshire (18-1) heads into battle with its third coach in three seasons, but the goals are unchanged for a loaded program that’s won four of the past five Class A NEPSAC championships.

Charlie Bour, who previously enjoyed success at Loomis-Chaffee, takes over a team that graduated a collection of talent but doesn’t figure to miss a beat.

"Returning and incoming players will constitute a different style than last year, but we’re incredibly talented on both sides of the ball," Bour said.

The leadership will come from senior defender Ahria Simons, a Bermuda U-20 national team player, and holding center mid Mohamed Omar, who doubles as the student body president. Both players are drawing Division 1 interest.
