Strengths: We have added depth to last year’s roster to help us battle through a physical season. Also, there is a collective attitude of working for results and not just wishing they would happen that has advanced the level of team play and competitiveness.
Question Marks: The competition continues to get stronger. One day of not playing your best could be the difference between 1st and 4th in such a compact season.
Outlook: An early dismissal from playoffs left a dissatisfying taste with many of the players. They will continue to battle to stay in the top half of the league and improve upon last season.
GAMES TO WATCH: Every game within the league is competitive. The team is especially excited for our Kick Out Cancer Event to be held Wednesday, September 12 against Council Rock South at Macclesfield Park in Yardley, under the lights. Come watch an exciting league rivalry and help support a charitable cause with numerous games and prizes to be won.
