COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Proud of our kids this season. We got back to some of our own roots within our program. Had a lot more buy in to the name on the front of the jersey. We had some struggles out of the gate. But we played a very challenging schedule and we got a lot better throughout the season. I felt like we put ourselves in a legit position to win another region. Obviously that did not play out that way but nonetheless I’m proud of our kids and the year they had.”
“… We were able to put together another 20 win season against a very challenging schedule with several quality wins on there. Also able to bring the district championship back home.”
“… We have a very high standard for success and despite losing 6 awesome seniors, we will begin work immediately to bring home 2025 Region championship.”
“… Can’t say enough about our 6 seniors. It’s been a blessing to watch them grow up and mature through the years.”
