Coach’s Comments: 

“We’re super excited about this group. They have high character and are good leaders. We have a tough schedule and every game will be a grind. Last year, we were involved in three one-point games and three games decided by one score. We have to play four quarters and grind out some wins.” – Head Coach Joe Wojciechowski
