Coach’s Comments: 

“There is no secret that many players return. We have ten returning starters on each side of the ball and a lot of depth. We have 55 players in the program in grades 10-12 and 20 freshmen, who play their schedule. There is depth and experience with the seniors having 30 varsity games under their belts It’s a new season and we are looking forward to a tougher schedule. We need to keep improving each day and take it one week at a time.” – Head Coach Mike Wilson
