Coach: Tom Philbrick (fifth year)
Last year’s record: 12-7, lost in Eastern A quarterfinals.
Returning players: Seniors — Miranda Nicely (5-10 guard/forward), Kiana Thompson (5-5 guard), Emily Knowles (5-10 forward/center); Juniors — Addie Brinkman (5-10 forward/center), Rachelle Bator (5-9 forward); Sophomore — Caitlin Kane (5-9 guard/forward).
Key losses: Jaycee Jenckes (forward), Kayla Newbill (forward), Amy Hilton (guard), Meg Hall (forward), Gabby Foy (guard), Mackenzie Conlogue (guard), Alyssa Williams (guard).
Promising newcomers: Junior — Sara Cummings (5-8 forward); Sophomore — Eryn Doiron (5-6 guard), Mackenzie Harris (5-10 center/forward), Moesha Harrington (5-6 guard), Lauren Guppy (5-5 guard), Emilee Eustis (5-6 guard), Britlin Karkos (5-6 guard/forward).
Outlook: The Cougars lost a wealth of talent and experience from last year’s club. Nicely is a returning starter while Brinkman, Thompson, Knowles and Kane all saw regular time last year. Mt. Blue is much younger than a year ago. There is some returning talent and experience to lead the way but many players will be stepping into larger roles.
