2014 Outlook

The Mules fell short of their sixth Centennial championship in the last eight years after losing in the Conference semifinals. It's a new-look Muhlenberg squad, as 'Berg does not have a "go-to" player. The Mules are tall and versatile. Laney and Lanza are a pair of 6-0 seniors, while Mitton provides even more size off the bench. Pepe and Tallamy will also be counted on for key minutes this winter. Rush and Caldwell run the offense. Balance will be the key word for Muhlenberg this season and a playoff berth will ride in the balance.
