Outlook: “PW is trying to have a short memory and not dwelling in the past. The goal is to continually improve over the course of the season and to be playing our best ball at the end of the season. PW has a very challenging schedule, including five of the top seven ranked District 1 teams from last season so there are bound to be growing pains. Our plan is to be one of those teams you don’t want to face in District playoffs.”
