Strengths/Question Marks:
“Looking to a large senior class to get us through a tough SOL season. We have seven returning starters and a talented group of underclassmen to round out our varsity and JV rosters. While early on it looks like our strength is on the defensive end, we will see who can step up and control the midfield for us and consistently finish.
“We need the seniors to lead and really step their games up, while the underclassman have to come in fit and work to find time on the field. Figuring out a large talented freshman pool will be interesting as we move into the heart of the schedule.”
Outlook:
“We finished with a bad taste in our mouths last year after a SOL second place finish, followed by a tough loss in districts. I felt like we left some points on the table during the regular season and could have been more consistent in a few games. Every season I’m looking to win the SOL to start a playoff run, it’s the toughest league in the state, and it’s the first team goal. Go Skins!”
