According to the Coach
With a good core of returning players from last year, this team feels they can compete with anyone in our district. We lack power but have good team speed. Compared to last season, I feel this year's team has gained a mentally tough attitude and gained confidence. I feel with last years team beating every team in the district except Stone Memorial at least once, that this much improved team will garner more respect and a much improved record this season.
