Coach’s comments: “We don’t have much height so we had better be quick and physical. We have some guys who can get out and run. We have a variety of defensive schemes. Matt Fox (torn ACL) is still recovering but expected back. We should be able to move the ball and drive the ball on offense. We want to go farther than we did last year (in state tournament). We definitely fell short last year.”
