Coach’s Comments:  

“We’ll be much better than last year and have many starters returning. We had nine seniors last year: five who played. There was a lot of inexperience and with our schedule, it’s very difficult. The sophomores are now juniors; they paid the price, expect to be better, and our games will be more competitive.” – Head Coach John Whitehead
