COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We had no answer for Brady Conn but I’m so proud of these boys this year. I know they’ll keep their heads up and come back from this tough loss. I expect big things this off-season and next. Just wish I could have gotten to coach them a few more games this year. Especially Noah Fairchild, such a great young man. Noah will be missed. Very proud of all their hard work and heart this group gave.”
“… Future is bright for this group with both Junior Varsity and Freshman teams having good years. Also so thankful for my coaching staff.”
