There is little doubt the Blue Devils have the talent for a bounce back season. Their relative lack of varsity experience in the unforgiving KVAC could determine how big of a bounce it is. “Guys will have to expand their games and their roles for this team to be successful,” Lewiston coach Tim Farrar said.

The Greyhounds made their return to Class B, and the christening of their new gym, worth the wait with a tournament appearance last year. They are hoping to improve upon that with an experienced, athletic roster. Tyrese Joseph returns as the leading scorer (13.3 ppg) but he should get plenty of support. Jonah Sautter and […]
