2023 Outlook: We return all but one player from a team that placed 2nd in District XI, I and II subregional. Our strength is experience and depth of varsity newcomers that will push for time.

Question marks will be our setting. Need to progress to a higher level in offense to compete at the level we are capable of this year and that begins with setting.
