Season outlook: Mt. Blue has been among the upper end of the league for a while now, cresting that 10-win plateau several times. The Cougars will be particularly strong this season, graduating only two seniors from last year’s 10-win team. This year’s six seniors and a solid junior class will be the leaders, and some good young players have joined the mix to add depth to this team. A good playoff run is in the offing this year.
