2020 OUTLOOK:
I’m very excited going into the 2020 season as we are still young but have 7 returners from last year with significant experience. The guys have put lots of work into the weight room and into the spring practices. It’s a new program as they have bought into the training and have gained a lot from practices. These kids have a lot against them and no one expects much after last year but they know what is in front of them and they are ready to surprise people. I have all the confidence in the world with our team this year and I expect big things. The boys are ready and I am excited for them. Especially since our best friend and long time super-fan, Kenny Bern passed away, the boys want to dedicate this season to him and it would be a very special year I believe.” Head Coach Tyus Adkins
