Fishburn’s comment: “On paper this is as good a team as I have ever coached in high school, as good a team as we have ever had, talent wise. We have to put it together. With the senior leadership and the experience they have plus a couple of sophomores who have been playing since they were little kids; it’s going to be a really, really good and successful season. There’s no question we should improve on last year’s results.”
