Keys to the season: We will need every bit of our senior leadership and fill the void left by the departure of Gage. We will need to rebound as a team and get out and run.
Things your team is doing during the COVID-19 pause of winter sports: With having been shut down it will basically be starting over. The key to returning to play will be conditioning and having our seniors set the tone for our limited practices before league play.
