COACH’S COMMENTS
“… This group of seniors has been great to work with this year. They are very talented and work hard to get better. This has been a very different season, dealing with COVID, weather and injuries. The group has persevered and made it to the beginning of post-season. They will all be successful in any endeavors the future brings. They are talented players and even better people, we have enjoyed working with them this season.”
