Season Outlook

After dealing with a lot of issues the previous season and ending up with an 0-9 record, we are looking at making a comeback. Many of our returning and upcoming players have all stepped it up in the off season and made a commitment to be better. We are looking to improve and start building a trend where we can be competitive weekly against larger teams.
