2024 OUTLOOK
”We are hoping that the late season post season run back through Section 2AAAA will give us some experience and momentum as we get started this season. We have some really great arms coming back, and our defense should be sound. Offensively, it is always great to return players because another year of experience will hopefully give our guys a some confidence that we can compete within anyone. Our challenging conference combined with a tough non-conference schedule will prepare us to compete in one of the toughest sections in the state. We have potential to be a really good team, but with potential comes a target and we expect to get everyone's best everytime that we go out to play.” - Erik Olson, Head Coach
