COACH’S QUOTE
“This year it is my goal that we will play to our potential and do our best. I believe if we play to our potential we can compete for a conference regular season or tournament championship. We also have the chance to compete for a district championship. At the end of the day, I hope to see great sportsmanship and great effort (our best effort) consistently and with that anything is possible. This is our first year with a chance to compete in many ways with a full high school roster as a small 45 student class D school.” – Coach Grentz
