Coach: Ann Speth (second year)

Last year’s record: Boys: 12th at Class C states; Girls: 6th at Class C states

Returning players: Boys:  Juniors — Sam Rock, Sawyer Smith, Ethan Cantin, Seth Tashnay. Girls: Seniors — Silvia Lutick Kate Bonney, Addie Fuller; Junior — Krystal Blood.

Key losses: None.

Promising newcomers: Boys: Freshmen — Ben Buck; Girls: Senior — Natalie Bolduc .

Outlook: The Cougars have added to their program, nearly doubling their numbers. All nine girls are returning, so they could become a factor in Class C. The boys lost one skier and could make significant gains with what is still a fairly young team.

Coach’s comment: We’ll be competitive at MVCs and I think we’ll be competitive at states.” — Coach Ann Speth
