Coach’s View

Every opportunity is on the table for us. I think that we can be a tough matchup in our region. It will come down to how our leaders develop and how we handle adversity. A lot of our success will depend on how good of a job our coaching staff can do in building depth and catering our schemes to our best playmakers. After that, it comes down to our players making plays when they have the opportunity.
