2018 OUTLOOK
"Our program is heading in the right direction with a lot to be excited about heading into this season. We have a great diversity of young and veteran guys that have been through a lot of high pressure games, giving us a wealth of experience. We have a lot of young guys that will be asked to step up and take on different roles. It is our expectation each year to develop each player in our program and to win a conference, district, substate, and state title. Our schedule is filled with a lot of tough opponents that will prepare us as we go through the season. We have some big shoes to fill with our loss of Brett and Treye, but I feel that this team can do some great things, taking on every challenge, and getting back to Principal Park and competing for a State Title." Head Coach Ryan Hodges
