2024 OUTLOOK

”We have a lot of leadership and experience returning in 2024 and our players have been working incredibly hard this off-season. We're lucky to compete in a conference schedule (Metro East) that, year after year, matches us up with top-10 programs in Class 3A. We know that our schedule will prepare us well for post-season play and look forward to the challenges ahead.” - Charlie Cicalello, Head Coach
