To round off the season, Coach Shawley, the boy’s coach, stated, “We had a great turnout and look forward to building upon our success from this year with a strong group of underclassmen who will be returning.”
Coach Hall, the girl’s coach, ended recapping state by saying, “This experience at a state tournament will be very helpful for the girls moving forward into the next season, as we will return four out of our six varsity players”.
