Coach: Joel Smith (12th year)

Last year’s record: 9-6-1, lost in Eastern A quarterfinal.

Returning players: Seniors — Zack Jackson (G), Josh Carlson (FB), Jamie Schank (FB), Zack Veayo (MF); Juniors — Ike Doiron (MF), Gage Kennedy (MF); Sophomore — Drew Parsons (F).

Key losses: Blake Hart (F), Colton Hall (MF), Steven Yardley (FB), Matt Crowley (G), Sam Richardson (MF), North Kay (FB).

Promising newcomers:  Freshmen — Evan Backus (MF), Devin Hoyt (MF), Dillon Roberts (MF), Liam Welch (F).

Outlook: The Cougars lost a talented and experienced group of seniors. That makes Mt. Blue a younger club this fall. There’s still some experience back in a small group of returning players and some promising young players that could keep Mt. Blue competitive in the KVAC.

Coach’s comment: “The team hopes to be competitive and continue the success of the last two seasons. If we stay healthy and work hard, we can be successful.” — Coach Joel Smith
