Final Comments:
After a successful 2022 regular season (MVL League Title-Co Champs; 23 wins; Finished Ranked 6th in State polls) and returning such a large number players, the expectations for 2023 are high. Our focus this season is internal. We believe that our success is self determined; and understand that we can only control our preparation, effort, and competitiveness. We have had a tremendous off season in the weight room and are focusing on the process; not the end results.
