2025 Outlook: We’re a young and hungry team with a strong drive to succeed. The core focus this season is building chemistry and playing as one cohesive unit. This group has achieved tremendous success since their middle school days, and they continue to impress me with their unwavering work ethic, commitment to the culture, and the way they measure their own progress. The energy they bring to the field is electric, and that energy will be their superpower this season.
We have the talent to compete with anyone in the EPC. The key will be how we come together, stay focused, and embrace the present moment. That’s what will ultimately determine our success.

Hungry, Stong Sense of Team; Leadership regardless of Captain Title; Work Ethic; Many Varsity Returners- Experience
