We are very excited as we begin to transition back into the 11-man game of football. We will still compete for a championship in eight-man football, but we added a few 11-man games as well. Our hope is to play a full 11-man schedule in 2024. We have a very young team that will only get better as the season progresses. If we come together as a family and forget about individual accomplishments, we will see great things happen.
