Strengths/Question Marks:
We will be strong at the pins this year and should have improved passing. We have young athletic middles who seem to be improving every day. And our setter, although young, has a lot of experience and appears ready to lead our offense.
Outlook: “Even though we lost seven players to graduation, we should be very strong, returning four starters. The key for our success this year will be how well we are able to overcome the loss of some terrific leaders last year. I think our guys are ready, and am looking forward to a great season.”
