Remington back on sidelines

Brant Remington, who has a long soccer resume, is back on the varsity sidelines this season as head coach of the Oak Hill High School girls team. Remington is best remembered as coach of the Maranacook boys for three seasons, ending in 2002. During that span, the Black Bears, led by players Nick Dubois and Jared Lemieux among others, put together a conference unbeaten streak of over 40 games.
Remington hopes to build a similar power at Oak Hill but it will take more time. The Raiders don’t have much of a winning tradition, but that could change in the coming years. They had 44 girls try out for the team and Remington sees enough talent for the team to gain a home playoff game this fall.
“I really think this year and moreso next year will be the two best years in the program,” he said.
Remington, who lives in Litchfield, spent the past two years as Oak Hill’s junior varsity coach. After leaving Maranacook, he coached a middle school team for a couple of seasons. Since leaving Maranacook, however, he’s hoped to return to the high school varsity level.
“I’m quite excited,” he said.
