Coach's comments: We lost a very talented class of seniors, but we have some exciting competition going for the open positions. The competition for the open positions will make us better as a team. The kids have been working very hard to prepare for this upcoming season. We play a very tough schedule and need to be focused and ready to go right out of the gate.
