Season outlook: Lewiston graduated talent from last year’s team that lost in the Eastern A final. Still, the Blue Devils return an experienced and talented group. Abdulle and Shariff were both all-conference players last year. Lewiston is still putting the pieces together and adjusting to players in larger roles, but the Blue Devils could be potent club and another playoff contender.
