Final Comments:
Strengths: team and individual defense, competitiveness & toughness, depth

Areas of growth: Youth & completely new style of play (learning to play without the two post players we centered our team around for 3 years)

Outlook: We have loved our November so far this season. Our kids are competitive, coachable and connected. We believe we can still be highly competitive despite losing 3 very talented players.
