Cony Rams Gear Up for a Title Run After 2025 Heartbreak

A young but experienced squad, led by Coach BL Lippert, opens the season with a road test at Fryeburg Academy and a home showdown against Skowhegan, while gearing up for Autism Awareness Night.

The Cony Rams are poised to rewrite the narrative of last season, when a 40‑20 defeat to Westbrook denied them the Class B North crown despite a roster that graduated 17 players from the championship team.

Coach BL Lippert, widely regarded as one of the state’s most strategic minds, returns to lead a squad that blends senior savvy with fresh talent, emphasizing physicality and disciplined play.

Redemption on the Gridiron

The schedule opens with a test on the road at Fryeburg Academy on September 4 at 6:30 p.m., a venue known for its enthusiastic crowd and challenging terrain.

A week later the Rams host Skowhegan in their home opener, a rivalry that often sets the tone for the season, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. on the following Friday.

Week 2 will feature the 10th edition of Autism Awareness Night, an event that blends community outreach with the team's competitive spirit, inviting fans to support a cause that resonates beyond the field.

The team's preparation has been intense, with conditioning camps and film sessions focused on tightening the defense that faltered in the 2025 championship game.

Fans can expect a high‑octane style of play, as the Rams aim to capitalize on their experience and the chemistry built during the offseason.
