Our season goals are to stay focused, take one game at a time and play with confidence and discipline. We expect to be competitive within our division and hope to re-gain the Frontier Division title from the 2021 season. We also missed district playoffs last year so getting to districts is also a top priority. It’s a very hard working group with a lot of potential all-around and more depth than what we’ve had in past seasons. We are looking forward to what the season has to bring.”
