Main Goal/Outlook for the season?
Basketball - Our goal is to grow as a team each and every day. We will undoubtedly have some learning curves. That's to be expected from such a young team. I want us to focus on the fundamentals and grow closer together as teammates. If we can do that, we should be competitive down the stretch.
Softball - We return almost everyone from a school record setting 19 win season. Our goals are to win conference for the third straight year and get back to the State tournament like we did in 2021. We have some very talented girls on this team.
