2021 Team Strengths:

Coach Outlook: "Just as many other teams, need guys to step up as only 1 player in our program has played a significant amount of Varsity time. We have high expectations, as our Senior class is talented, as well as committed to make the best of this season. We have 4-5 players that have committed to play at the next level, and some promising Juniors that will compete on the field for us. We play in a very competitive conference this season, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to get out and compete this Spring!"
