| Season Outlook |
| “Though we graduated a very talented senior class that left a lasting impact on our program, the cupboard is not bare. We have a solid nucleus of kids who return with some big game experience. We also welcome some very talented players up from our jr. high program. Overall, kids are working hard, and expectations are high.” Steve Jervis |
