OUTLOOK:
Rockford could make the case for one of the most talented rosters in the state with multiple players committed to or holding offers from Division I programs. But, for Coach Hearn, that isn't enough. His goal for his team this season is simple: get better everyday. Before setting their sights on the state tournament, Rockford will face a tough conference schedule that includes Grandville and Hudsonville, the defending conference champion.
