Coach’s View
These young men are tough
and want to compete. They want to get better and improve. They are tough, gritty, and hard workers in the weight room and on the field. Our schedule is tough but so are my players. If we stay injury-free, we can surprise quite a few people. We are looking forward to this season and ready to play.
