New coach helping to rebuild BEHS boys basketball team

Coach Francoeur brings a wealth of experience to the bench at BEHS.

Coach Mike Francoeur gives Connor Sirois some advice during the Westbrook game Thursday night. The Scots lost to the Blue Blazes.
      Bonny Eagle started out the season looking like a playoff-contending team. The Scots had nine threes against Noble with senior forward Troy Bogdahn leading the way with five of them. The next game wasn't as easy though, as the Scots took a big loss to Portland in their home opener. As of Jan. 15, their record is 2-10.
      Coach Mike Francoeur, the new coach for BEHS this year, feels confident that “we can turn things around….Our record is not a direct reflection on how we are improving. We will continue to work hard and come together as a family.”
      The new head coach for Bonny Eagle boys basketball has a lot of basketball knowledge and has been around the game for a long time. Coach Francoeur has 25 years of coaching experience at the high school and college level. As a player, he was a starter on the Westbrook High 1984 Class A state champions and was a member of USM’s Division III Final Four team in 1989. As well as playing at the collegiate level, he also was an assistant basketball coach at the University of Southern Maine and at St. Joseph’s College.
      According to Athletic Director Eric Curtis, Coach Francoeur is doing well. “People are questioning him and might be upset by the start, but he’s a new coach. It’s going to be different because there will be a different offense that has been put in. Once the players learn the system and start to play as a team they will win more games this season.” 
      Sophomore guard Nick Thorne agreed. “This is a rebuilding year,” said Nick. “We aren't expected to do very well. We are still getting used to the new offense and defense. It's a big change and right now we are getting the basics. Our team is close, almost like a big family. It will be a fun season no matter the record!”
