2024 OUTLOOK
”After losing 8 starting seniors from the 2023 season we have a lot of positions to fill for the 2024 season. We think our underclassmen and specifically our incoming junior class will help us fill a majority of those spots. We have very big goals for the 2024 season as we look to compete in the section and be a strong team that can hopefully make a run in sections and make the state tournament.” - Tom Fairbanks, Head Coach
