Outlook:  “Our goal is the same as any other team - to make the State Tournament. As a program, we had our first real taste of success last year, and our returning core is more motivated than ever. Our program lost a tremendous group of seniors last year who went on to play at the college level; however, our current group has had no issues with committing to college programs. Players like Chase Goodson, Mike Judge, Jack Hoetzel and Calvin Judge have already committed to college programs and are now entirely focused on building their own legacy.”
