Outlook:  “The coaches are very excited about the upcoming season as we feel this team has a lot of potential. During last year’s shortened season, we never really jelled or played with any consistency. If we can play together and make certain everyone has the opportunity to contribute, we should be very successful. Of course, the strength of our league makes that easier said than done.”
