ANTICIPATED TEAM STRENGTHS

Experience will be huge for Montague as they return seven seniors along with two juniors with two or more years of varsity experience.

ANTICIPATED TEAM CHALLENGES

While the Wildcats return a lot, they’ll have to get guys up to pace with significant court time which may show as Montague takes time to gel offensively to begin the season.

TEAMS TO BEAT IN THE CONFERENCE

Ludington and Whitehall will likely be the top competitors in the West Michigan Conference Lakes Division.

COACH QUOTE

“We will be very competitive this year. Like every year, we hope to compete for a conference title. I also believe this group has been tested and will not back down from the challenges we will face.”
