2024 Spring Team Preview: Dearborn Divine Child Falcons
Team Name: Dearborn Divine Child Falcons

Division: 2
2023 Record: 15-20
2023 Tourney Finish: District Semifinals loss to Annapolis

Coach Outlook: "This season is going to be fun. We have a talented group of players coming back and they want to win. It will start with our seniors, they're going to have to lead this team and we will only go as far as they lead them. Our underclassmans are going to be playing a big role as well since we only have a handful of seniors returning, we are going to be looking for the underclassman to step up. We know what each and every one of our players can bring to the team and we are expecting them to just go out each and every day to complete as hard as they can and have fun every day!"
