Coach’s Comments: 

“We should be very talented and we gained a lot of experience last year. We’re trying to build off that, but last year’s finish left a bad taste in our mouths after starting 5-0. We are working on deficiencies our opponents took advantage of. This is a tight group of kids who can be very good if the coaches don’t screw it up.” – Head Coach Brian Wright
