Q: Did you see your team performing this well this season even after many key loses from last years squad?

A: Yes, I did. We still had a lot of key returning players from last years team, and knew that some of the kids that might not have saw as much time as Juniors would be hungry to step into bigger roles.

Q: How many team goals did you meet this season?

A: Every year we set out first and foremost to make the playoffs that's always are main goal. However, I know are kids are disappointed that we fell just short of the conference championship, and the District title. 

Q: Who do you expect are going to be key contributors next season?

A: The obvious choices are to chose Brec and Drew. It will be there third year on the varsity roster. However, I also expect few other players to make a name for themselves next season. We have a good group of kids returning, and a good class coming up so I'm exited.

Q: How do you expect to replace 17 graduating seniors next season?

A: Like I said before we have a good group of returning players that will see bigger roles next season. Also we have a good jv program and I expect some of the Sophomores this year to play big roles for us next season.
