Coach’s Comments: 

“We’re more experienced this year and worked very hard in the offseason. If the sophomore-to-junior jump goes well, we’ll be good. The kids are maturing, physically and emotionally, and that should be better for us. We are back to where we’ve been with seniors and juniors playing and the sophomores developing – last year’s sophomores had to play.” – Head Coach Lou Grasso, Jr.
