"Our seniors did a great job improving throughout the season and leading our underclassmen through example," said Coach Headrick. "Oftentimes the seniors would get to practice early, and stay late afterward, always working hard on improving. Their hard work showed throughout the season. We have five Varsity spots to fill next season, so I am looking forward to seeing how our underclassmen step up and fill those spots."
