Keys to your success this season:

We need to be very solid defensively, take care of the ball, rebound as a team and take great shots. We don’t have as much experience or size as the last couple of seasons, but our kids are hard workers who play hard. I’m looking forward to seeing our guys grow, improve and compete this season.
