Coach’s Comments:   

“This is the first year of continuity for the seniors; having the same coach for consecutive years. We had a good offseason, and we had distractions last year, such as redoing the field and the weight room. It’s been a true offseason this year. We need to start fast, build the confidence of our young players, and build off our late-season success. And we need to be consistent across the board.” – Head Coach Ryan Gresik
