Coach’s Comments: 

“We are young and inexperienced with a lot of talent. We will compete every week and be prepared. But there isn’t much experience; it’s something that can’t be taught. To get it, you have to play, and we’re excited about this group this year and beyond.” – Head Coach Frank Trautz
