2018 OUTLOOK:
“Through the first two weeks of practice as a coaching staff we have been impressed with our focus, effort, and intensity we've received. No doubt physical mistakes will occur during the course of the season, but so far it appears to be a group that is willing to complete for one another. If we can do that consistently and on a daily basis, we have the potential to be a very good team.”  Head Coach Mike Thompson
