2023 Outlook: As with any team in the area, we have some clear strengths and weaknesses. One of our biggest strengths is our hustle. We have a scrappy team, all our guys want to win and want to anything and everything they can to help our team achieve our goals.
Whether it be getting ground balls for extra possessions, battling on defense to get the turnovers, pushing through adversity to eek out a win.
