Strengths: Athletic, quick, Avery and Winland have ton of experience from last season

Question Marks: Everyone on the team is in a new role/environment. Team lacks playing experience individually and as a unit.

Outlook: “Coming off of a historic run: 6 division championships in 7 years (all outright), 4 district final fours, 3 district championship appearances, 2 SOL tournament championships, 1 district and state championship (171-26 overall, 92-6 in SOL). This year’s team is laying groundwork for what we hope will be another historic run. Our goal is to be competitive night in and night out. By the end of the season, we want to qualify for the District 1 playoffs and put a scare into whomever we draw in the bracket.”
