2023 OUTLOOK:
"We have 7 returning position players and all but 1 of which were first time starters last year with no varsity experience. These guys come back with a year of experience under their belt and have been working hard this off season. We have a good mix of older more experienced players along with some great up-and-coming young talent to fill in the gaps."
