A. Our willingness to struggle well and pay attention to the details in the process.

Q. Who will be your key leaders on the team?

A. Briggs Cherry, Kolby Barrett, Jamyan Theodore, Charlie Edgeworth, and Gabriel Osenda.

Q. What are your biggest reasons for optimism?

A. Our senior class has talent and character.

Q. What will keep you up at night?

A. Making sure our team is prepared to the best of my ability.

Q. What can you build on from last year?
