2015 Outlook: We are looking to capitalize on a surprising, yet also somewhat expected 2014 season. Unlike a year ago, we return a bulk of our starters from last year and have a good amount of talent that will be getting their first crack at starting.
As long as the team stays together through a tough non-league schedule and battles through adversity, there’s no reason that we could not have a successful season.
