What to Watch For

Three arms return for Coach Clapp, that were pivotal in 2016.  The Cougars will lean on these arms to keep them in games throughout the year.  With only two players returning to the lineup from a conference championship, the offense will evolve as young players learn their roles and begin to understand the standard day in and day out.
