COACH’S QUOTE
“We are taking this season one game at a time. Last year we had very few close games and we lost the most important one. This year our schedule is filled with teams that are going to push us to be the best that we can be, which is our ultimate goal. If we can achieve that goal, I believe we will have a very successful season”. Coach Holcomb
