Season outlook: Blais is one of the state’s top scorers while Eliasen is a two-way threat in the middle. Bail, St. Laurent and Leclair give the Blue Devils balance up front. Lewiston is athletic and solid on defense. The Blue Devils also have some young talent with potential. Lewiston should be a competitive club that can challenge for another playoff berth.
