Strengths/Question Marks: “The communication and connection between this team has been solid, and we need to continue to keep that as a priority throughout the season.  The question mark of the season is that the non-league games we have this year will be challenging and how will we need to adjust play in order to be ready to compete in every game we face.

Outlook: “The team goal is to surpass last year’s season, as each year we want to continue to improve. Last year, we made it to the second round of playoffs, and, therefore, this year we want to do better. We want to continue to work together as one team and defend the division championship.”
