Coach’s Outlook for 2016: ” We return all but 3 starters from last season. We have a strong senior class that has varsity experience and our mostly college bound players. We have to see which young players are ready to fill in for the graduated pieces along with matching last year’s team efforts, attitude and execution. We have many tough games this season that will challenge us physically and mentally. Our players will need to learn now how to play being targeted by other teams.”

Coach’s Outlook for 2016: “With only 5 seniors on the roster we will be one of the younger teams age wise this season. However most of our underclassmen were able to gain varsity experience last season which should help us compete with the top teams in the Cape Atlantic League this season. Nik Anagnou and Dmitri Terenik will lead the offense, while his brother Peter Terenik and Zach Thornton anchor the defense.”
