2018 OUTLOOK
"We lost a lot of experience and talent from our 2017 team.  Those guys will be tough to replace.  However, we have had an outstanding off-season and we have a bunch of hungry kids who have waited for their turn.  We have 6 seniors who all have a very legit shot at starting for us.  Anytime you have talented, hungry seniors you have a  chance to be successful." Head Coach Troy Rood
