Strengths/Question Marks:  “Because of our inability to practice on a full field, our question marks overshadow our strengths at this point.  Fortunately, most teams are in the same situation and I’m sure we’ll have some adjusting to do once we get out there.”

Outlook:  “Our goal from season to season is to be conference champs.  For us, it will come down to throwing strikes and playing solid defense.  If we can do those two things consistently, we should be in contention when May rolls around.   We have a solid group of individual talent working together right now and we’re excited to see what it will look like out on the field.” 

GAMES TO WATCH:  The only game that matters right now is April 1st vs Wissahickon at Home
