Coach’s Comments:
“We have a good, young team. Many sophomores gained experience as freshmen. The seniors we have are good players. We are senior and sophomore-heavy, with 30 sophomores in the program with good sub-varsity teams last year. Once we get more experience, we will be a good team.” – Head Coach John Emel
