RIGHT NOW I LIKE

A lot of new and young talent that are motivated to improve their skill.

RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE

We could always benefit from a few players stepping out of their comfort zones and showcasing their hidden talent.

LEAGUE FAVORITE

Bethel-Tate always has a strong program but Georgetown also displayed some great competition last year. We hope to be competitive with both and it will be interesting to see if they are still the top two teams like last season.
