Coach’s Comments: 

:” This is one of our most anticipated seasons. This team is on the threshold of doing something special. They have that “one for all and all for one” attitude and have bought in, which makes it fun to watch them work. If character, toughness, and commitment are the ingredients to succeed, I like our chances.” – Head Coach Robert Hampton
