Season outlook: Last year’s trip to Eastern B was well-timed for the Cougars. It gave the team a year to gain experience and grow together. Losing only one senior, this team is ready to take its next step, which will be a formidable one as it moves back into Eastern Class A. A persistent, tenacious squad, playoffs are not out of the question.
