Coach’s Comments: 

“Going into our second year of varsity ball for these kids after missing the 2020 season with COVID. We have 5-6 guys back on each side of the ball and we re-established the weight program and our kids are much stronger this year. We also have experience, which we didn’t have last year.” – Head Coach Kevin Freeman
