Joe Robinson was named the Coach of the Year by his peers.

The Red Riots overcame a 1-3 start to post a 14-4 record, good for the No. 4 seed in Western Class A. South Portland then won a quarterfinal game for the first time ever, rallying past No. 5 Portland, 3-2. The season ended at 15-5 with a 7-2 loss to eventual state champion Biddeford in the semifinals.
