Coach’s View

We will have a very competitive schedule this season with many talented and well-coached teams. Our district has the defending 1A state champion, as well as a year-in-and-year-out contender for the 1A state championship. We have to play up to the standard we have as a program and be disciplined for four quarters in every game.
