Coach’s Outlook for 2017: “The 2017 season returns a lot of varsity experience across all positions on the field. During the off-season the team set their goals at winning a PAC-12 Championship and getting to the District 1 play-off bracket. The whole coaching staff believes we have the talent, work ethic, and cohesiveness to achieve these goals. We have a great group of young men that play hard and are really a fun to be around.”

Coach’s Outlook for 2017: “We were fortunate to only lose 2 seniors from a talented group of players from the 2016 team. Our chemistry should be much stronger this year and we have a lot of younger guys eager to contribute along with the experienced upperclassmen. Our hope in the new league is to be a strong team within the PAC.”
