experience and that should help us to improve this season. We have a very good core of returning
athletes and several freshmen who will see significant varsity action. We are still fairly young and
unproven, but I really like the direction our boys team is headed in. We had very good numbers in our
off-season conditioning program. Our goal is to compete hard and improve as the season goes on in order
to finish in the upper half of the league. Hopefully, we are laying a strong foundation for sustained
