Coach’s Comments: 

“We have to make it back to the state championship and finish the job. We have the pieces to do it. I like how we’ve become as a team, becoming tight knit and doing a little extra. It’s a very mature group. We now have to handle adversity and outwork everyone: being stronger, more conditioned, and not running out of gas.” – Head Coach Mike Cipot
