2024 OUTLOOK

"Looking to contend for another conference and section title. Section 7AA will once again be very good at the top end. Team camaraderie and Senior leadership will be keys to our success. We have many pieces back from last year's team and a great group of Junior Varsity players looking to crack the lineup." - Ben Haugen, Head Coach
