Overview: After getting knocked out in the regional semifinals each of the past two seasons, Dirigo welcomes back an experienced group that appears poised to challenge in a loaded Class C West race. Robinson is one of the best players in the state, regardless of class, having averaged more than 25 points per game as a sophomore. Frost dished out six assists per game and is a proven floor general. Hutchins is a dangerous outside shooter, and Arsenault is one of the best defensive players in the MVC. Magnusson felt that the team’s overall defense was an area of weakness in 2013-14 and has made improvement a point of emphasis. Dirigo will be as athletic as any team in the league and region. Another title run is a possibility.
