Coach’s Comments: 

“We have a great group of student athletes that are very hungry. They have worked hard during the offseason and have goals to accomplish by the end of the year. During this turnaround, the coaching staff and players have worked together and we are getting better each day. If we put the pieces together, we will turn some heads.” – Head Coach Ron Gordon
