Coach’s Comments:  

“We’re coming off a 6-game season and we have lost 25 seniors. We’ll miss them, but we have players with experience and good young kids coming up. I pray things go well, COVID-wise and we can make noise in our division and conference. We want to show what we can do.” – Head Coach Brian Bowers
