2024 OUTLOOK

”I'm excited about the 2024 Season as we will be an older team for once returning multiple starters. All are either three, four, or five year starters for me. I have a great group of seniors that bought in their 8th grade season and three of them are 5 year starters for me. They have also been great leaders for the younger guys. We as a team have big hopes and have set our goals high for the 2024 Season. But as always it will be one game at a time approach all season!” - JASON BENDGEN, Head Coach
