Coach’s Outlook for 2025: “We only had one senior on the team last year, so we return our entire lineup, and we added some really good young players. We were really young last year and overmatched. Instead of rolling over, our kids decided to dig in and work hard to be competitive. I am really proud of the work our players put in over the past 12 months and excited to see them compete as we navigate the non-league portion of our schedule. We play in the most competitive high school league in the country, so we are going to continue working hard to climb the standings.”
