Strengths/Question Marks: “We should remain strong defensively with standout liberos Mike Donovan and Colby Tallia. We will need significant contributions from our newcomers if we are going to maintain consistency and compete for the league title.”
Outlook: “Our goals this season include fighting for a league championship and advancing to the district finals to qualify for states. We have a very talented core group of returning players, including Nick Bennett who has just committed to play for D1 St. Francis. Our challenge will be bringing along the newer players so that we are able to maintain our consistency throughout the season.”
GAMES TO WATCH: “This year more than ever, there are several teams with a great shot at winning the title. From top to bottom, each team in our league should be a tough matchup this year. Matches against perennial powerhouses Pennridge and Souderton should be great to watch, and we always have tough, exciting matches with CB West, which may be the team to beat this season in our league.”
