2023 OUTLOOK:
Our coaching staff has been pleased with how our offseason has been going and we are ready to start competing. We have to fill some key positions from last year's team but are confident in how our guys have prepared and feel they are ready for a challenge. Our returning core has unique skill sets which allows us to attack our opponents in many ways. We look for more consistency on defense which will dictate how our season goes."
