Coach Fairclough: “I’m looking at this my fourth year at Emmaus that we are young and inexperienced, but we also have some very good athleticism and guys that are coachable, that have a great work ethic and good team chemistry and those are all thing things that make us a special team. We had a lot of that last year and those guys did a good job leadership wise and we have that this year. I’m good with we are at right now now, but again we are extremely young and inexperienced.”
