Overview: The Cougars won a prelim and then beat the top seed in Western C last year before losing to Madison in the regional semifinals.
Then, the program changed coaches. Karen Magnusson, the former Cony coach, returns to coaching after a year off. The Cougars return much of last year’s team including playmaker Lueders in the backcourt along with Daoud and post threats in Hutchins and Henderson. Dirigo is a deep squad with experience and balance. That should make them a threat in Western C once again.
