Coach Outlook: "I feel we should definitely make a run at the state title this year. This years team has 8 starters back from last years team that made it to the regionals only to lose in the regional finals. If we stay healthy, and get a little lucky along the way, this team has the capability to do some really good things."
PBR Outlook: Coach Curtus Moak and the Cougars fell just short of state in 2018 and with eight starters returning, the Cougars look to take the next step in 2019.
