Outlook

“This is a group that has shown a lot of improvement this offseason. There is great senior work ethic and leadership from all five of our seniors. Ryan Benscoter has developed into one of the better offensive players in the area. We would expect to be able to compete with the best teams in our District and strive to once again make it to the District One final four and qualify for state playoffs.”
