Coach’s Comments:
“We’ve had a commitment in the weight room with a ton of kids in there all offseason> Their progress has been amazing and they’re beginning to understand. They have been good with things and responding positively. We have 123 kids in the program, grades 10 through 12, including five who have transferred back to us.” – Head Coach Garrett Lucas
