Outlook: “Our goal every season here at Upper Moreland is to win the AAA District One Championship, and it’s our goal again this year. We have a good mix of players, Although there is a lack of varsity experience returning, we have a good group of seniors who provide leadership and show up every day wanting to get better. We are also young at some positions and need our seniors to help them get through the grind of a varsity season. We feel that if we can get into the District 1 AAA playoffs, our tough league schedule will help us tremendously and anything can happen in postseason play.”
