Coach’s Comments:
“Our goals haven’t changed. Last year was a letdown, being a small school with injuries. We were competitive in our losses, except for one (four losses by a total of 17 points). Some guys gained experience because of the injuries. Our goal is to win the division and host a playoff game, which we haven’t done in a long time.” – Head Coach Jordon Schreffler
