Coach’s Comments:  

“This is an unusual season for us and it’s the most inexperienced team we have had since 2005. We have low numbers; 45 in grades 10-12, which is low for us – they are usually around 60. Last year was the first year we didn’t have a freshman team, but we will have one this year with 25 players.” – Head Coach DJ Nimphius
