Final Comments:
Numbers are way up and support for our program is extremely high in the community. Last year was a chance to set expectations and make the playoffs in year one.
We lost a very talented Senior class from 2023, however, we believe we have dedicated leaders in our seniors this season, with some of the best talent around in our Junior and Sophomore classes. Our Freshman class has some big time players as well, who will push for varsity time. We will be young overall but the talent is there.
We also have made some great additions to our staff. Bringing in high level coaches with previous high level coaching experience including being Head Coaches and Coordinators. Along with added experience working with college coaches to always give our players the best chance to continue beyond the high school level. 13+ Coaches allows us to keep our players engaged and developing at all times.
Overall, with close to 70 players on our roster this season, we will need to take the steps necessary to grow in year 2, despite being a young team. We are excited for the challenge and believe Ellet is a program on the rise.
