Coach: Doug Gilbert (17th year)
Last year's record: Third in Class C, second in Class C qualifier, fourth in Mid-State League
Returning letter winners: Seniors — Caleb Hall (132), Eric Holman (112), Bryan Blackman (145); Juniors — Brett Whittemore (138), D.J. Webber (152), Thomas Barnett (160), Nelson Pepin (171), Alex Snowman (185), Riley Lomabardi (125); Sophomore — Jesse Hutchinson (130); Dylan Sattler (119).
Promising newcomers: Juniors — Cliff Boynton (195), Zach White (215), Misty Steward (103); Freshman — Dexter Verrill (119).
Outlook: The Cougars return eight top-four wrestlers in Class C. Webber won a state title last year, and Hall was a state champion as a freshman and runner-up as a junior. Barnett, Blackman, Hutchinson, Pepin, Snowman and Whittemore all made it to the consolation final. The Cougars will be favored in the new Class C West and should challenge defending champion Foxcroft at states.
