OnFocus Season Preview
Coaching staff: Jacob Jarvensivu (Head), Mike Snyder, Brian Maki, Jared Jarvensivu
Key returners: Danny Gahler, Nate Ariola, Jalend Cobb
Key newcomers: Hakken Berklund, Noah Bruckner, Benny Gahler, Stephan Wolfe
Conference outlook: I think that we can be towards the top of the conference and surprise some people even tho the team from last year largely graduated.
Keys to your success this season: Minimize turnovers and play excellent defense

Behind the scenes: Who are some of the people that help your program succeed? 

The list of assistants that I gave are the varsity only assistants so I am getting a lot of help from them in terms of organization, logistics, and practice planning.

Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share?
I think that even though we play a lot of older kids we will be like a young team early because of lack of experience. I anticipate us growing up quickly though. 

Know some top athletic performances? Seeing some great teams in action?

We can use your help, and it’s simple.  Witness some great performances? Hear about top athletes and top teams in our area?
