Coach’s comments: “I really like the leadership of this team; I think that will help us as the season goes on and we get into the playoffs. This is as good a group as I’ve ever had working hard in the weight room and it shows. They are very coachable too.
“Our backs have a lot of experience and have been together. These seniors have been together for a long time. We play one 6A team and five 5A teams. I think our strength of schedule will help us in the playoffs. I expect us to be in the thick of things in the Mid-State again.”
