COACH COMMENTS ON TEAM/LEAGUE
We have four starters back from a team that was young with very little varsity experience last year. We hope to be very much improved and to able to finish the close games we were not able to win last season. We should be very athletic with several three sport-successful athletes to choose from. I would be very disapponted if we don't finish in the top three. We will struggle early until we get the football players into practice and get a few games under their belts.
The CVC will be a much tougher league than last year. Redmond has some god returning players and it will continue to be a tough place to pick up a victory. Sprague--missing some key players from last yearr--will be hurt by that, but will still contend for a playoff spot. McNary will be the most improved. South has one of the top returning players (Xavier Cannefax).
