Coach’s Comments: 

“I like this team. It is year two for me. I have gotten to know the players better in the offseason, which is important. We have a good bunch of kids. We have been having fun and working hard all offseason. We should earn the right to play some meaningful games after taking lumps last year.” – Head Coach Chad King
