| Season Outlook |
| “Last season, we had to constantly fight through adversity, and with a hard-work-and-never-quit approach, we finished the season strong. This motivated our players into a great effort in the off-season/summer. We will have competition for many starting positions due to our experience; this will make us much stronger.” Jerry Albright |
