Season Outlook
“We have a very demanding Non League schedule with 3 recent state champs right out of the gate, and our league is one of the most competitive in the state. We also lost a senior class that enabled us to have a historic 2025 season. However, we are a confident and close-knit group who added some key players and have other players ready to step up to the challenge. We feel that our group can be right there again competing for an Inter-Ac Championship in the season’s deciding contests”. Rich Knox
