Strengths:
Definite strength is experience – only lost one senior starter from last year’s team. Have 12 players back with varsity experience. Good team speed. Many team members spent a lot of time in the off-season playing and gaining skill and experience. Good work ethic and cohesiveness.
Question mark:
One question mark is depth. Lack a strong bench if there are injuries.
Outlook:
“Last year was the first time in 15 years that PW did not compete in District One playoffs. Our goal is to compete for the league title and go to Districts as a strong team.”
