2024 OUTLOOK

”We graduated a very solid group of seniors last year who have been a part of three state tournament runs. We will be very inexperienced at the varsity level but have a solid group of underclassmen coming up with a few key remaining players returning from last year. If you play us this year count on seeing a lefty on the bump.” - Aaron Weber, Head Coach
