With the new TSSAA region schedules we are front loaded with non-region games. The back end of our schedule will determine our playoff picture. To me, this is a great opportunity to use games early in the year to build a strong identity for our team before getting to the games that ultimately matter in determining playoff seeding and hosting opportunities. Our region is very talented and all have a great
opportunity to win.
