Coaches Outlook: “The Quakers are a young, but promising team looking to get back to the state tournament after a tough 2019 campaign plagued by injuries and inexperience, battling tough conference and out of conference opponents. With a core group of experienced freshmen and sophomores, this team is just focused on getting better each day. This will clearly be a rebuilding season, but the coaches see a lot of potential for the Quakers to make some deep runs in the playoffs in future years. Indeed, the future looks bright for Boys’ lacrosse at WFS.”
