A. Garrett Edgar, Logan Roberts, Bryce Hart, Cole Runion, Zac Strawbridge, and Cameron Talley.

Q. What can you build on from last year?

A. Culture and continuing to build upon our offensive and defensive schemes and progress in the weight room.

Coach’s View

We have the capability to be pretty good. We will be competing in the toughest region around with six teams that made the playoffs last year in our new region. I am excited for the opportunity to compete against this schedule. It is also exciting to have a new playoff format (power rankings system) that GHSA has implemented.
