Coach’s Comments:  

“I like what we have returning. We’re battle tested in some areas and green in others. We’ve had good training sessions since the winter and it was even better since the whole team has been together after spring sports have ended. The kids show up four times a week in the heat and they’re a good group. I like our leadership, which is important and that can take us a long way.” – Head Coach Ralph Cinque
