2023 OUTLOOK:
Sgt. Bluff-Luton returns a solid core group of players in 2023 after their state tournament run in 2022. They will be looking to fill the roles of three very important graduating seniors of last year's team. The team will be striving to achieve program goals of competing for a conference championship and playing well enough at the end of the year to make a state tournament run."
