Coach’s Comments:   

“We’re excited about what this group can do. We’ve had an outstanding offseason, and this is the strongest team we’ve had since I’ve been at Rancocas Valley. We have a great combination of experienced 2- and 3-year starters, mixed with talented young players ready to make an impact. Our depth is better than it’s ever been, but our success will ultimately come down to our ability to play together and embrace toughness every single day. If we do that, we believe we can compete with anyone on our schedule.” – Coach Garrett Lucas
