Coach’s View
We have a really strong schedule. We have seven playoff teams on the schedule, four region champs, a quarterfinalist, and a semifinalist. We are going to have to put our big boy pants on. But, our guys will look forward to the challenge, play hard, and compete. In the end, that is what we want our team to do: Play hard and compete.
