My team has been working really hard in the off season individually so I cannot wait to see their drive come all together as a team into the 2022 season.

Coach’s Outlook for 2022: “Returning only 4 Seniors after losing 2 key starters to season ending knee injuries the Pandas will be a young team in 2022 with a large Freshman Class and many new faces on and off the field. We expect to compete hard as we always do, and hope to finish near the top of the PCL standings while being led by top scorers and All Catholic Honorees Blemings and George, along with 4 returning defensive starters. New additions to our coaching staff are perfectly timed to help us develop our next young core group of players for 2022 and beyond. Go Pandas!”
