2023 Outlook: This year our strength is we have one of our deepest teams of all-around players on Varsity. We will rely heavily on ball control, passing and should be able to mix the offense up with lots of weapons. Depth has already led to very competitive and high-level practices and scrimmages.
Question marks will be how fast we can catch up with newcomers and adapt to a different offense this year with multiple setters.
