Final Comments:
We had quite a few ups and downs last year. Our guys had to learn how to learn from their losses and how to win. When we had our first off-season meeting, the coaching staff was very honest about where we were and what we had to do to make changes. Our young men have taken their training to the next level. Although we only have 3 seniors this year, there are a lot of young men who took quality reps as underclassmen. This group is poised to compete in 2023.
