Season Outlook: 

Ninth-year head coach Jim Ahearn has only one starter returning on offense, fortunately for him it's senior QB Michael Lynn III.  The Sexton transfer is a dual-threat QB will be expected to lead a young squad to the playoffs again.  The CAAC White title should be decided in Week 5 when they host arch-rival Portland.  Coach Ahearn has led the Cougars to the playoffs in his first eight seasons.  Barring injuries, that should happen again in 2017.
