Question Marks:  Experience

Outlook:  “We are coming off our best season in my five years as coach (going .500 in SOL and qualifying for districts for the first time).  It is our hope to build off of last year’s success.  Inexperience will no doubt be a factor (as we graduated six of our seveb starters), but the boys have dedicated themselves in the off-season.  The goals for our program remain the same - compete/improve our position in SOL and return to districts.”
