Coach’s Comments:  

“It’s awesome to be back to normal. It is good to spend the summer with the players because we graduated many. We will have nine new starters on each side of the ball. The summer has been very important to the team’s development and that is something we would not have been able to do last year.” – Head Coach Will Nahan
