Coach O’Connor: “This year our goal is unchanged: our goal is to win districts. We graduated some really good seniors and in that senior group we had some great leadership. What’s made our boys team so successful during this run is that we’ve had some really good senior classes and this year is no different, in fact, this year might even be better than it was in recent years.”
“The depth on this team is really good, more than we’ve had in the last four or five years and we’re really excited for a good year and we expect a lot from our young kids. I expect to see some of these freshmen and sophomores not to simply follow the lead from some of the upperclassmen, but be willing to go faster.”
