Coach’s Comments:
“We lost Donovan Leary and a few others, but a lot of guys return who gained valuable experience. We had nine new guys on each side of the ball and there was one game where we started three freshmen. Our numbers are very good, the kids have bought in, and we’re getting ready.” – Head Coach Brian Wright
