Season outlook: The goal is the same as always for the Blue Devils: make a run to the state championship. There is very little roster turnover from last year for Lewiston, which lost to rival St. Dom’s in the regional final a year after losing in the state championship. The Blue Devils have experience at all levels, and will add some newcomers to the mix that could make an impact.
