Conference: MVC Class: C

Last year: 4-10

Season outlook: Mountain Valley begins the season with no seniors on the squad. The Falcons will be young, but the talent is there, and as the season progresses they should get stronger. In a tough MVC, Mountain Valley may see some early growing pains, but the growth the team should show over the season will be fun to watch.
