Coach's comments: This senior class is hungry and looking forward to having a season that Carroll can build on for the future. The seniors, led by two-year team captain Gavin Tom, have been working hard in the offseason and pushing the underclassmen. We will be a bit inexperienced in some places, but in others we will have three-year starters. We must stay healthy or some of our younger players will have to be thrown into the mix quickly.
