Coach Elsea – “I’m extremely excited for the upcoming season. Last year as a new coach and having a new style in place I think that played a role in why we didn’t do as well as I thought we could. This year we have a lot more players that have played together so much that it’s going to flow a lot better. The players have a clear understanding of what I expect of them and that is huge.
“Our front row is definitely our strength. We have a lot of hitters and a lot of power. We have two leaders on our team. Zach (Baus) is our defensive leader and Cooper (Henseler) is our offensive leader.”
