Thoughts: I feel I have the people to be competitive, just not how competitive. I have a number of first time girls. It may take some time to figure out where they belong as well as what they are able to do. I think when I'm able to get the right girls in the right spot, some meet experience, and are able to stay healthy, we should be ok. The girls were Class Sectional Runner ups last year.

Thoughts: I really don't know what to expect. I lost my big scorers from last year. I hope my veterans are able to step up, and I hope I'm able to find some talent from the newcomers. It will take some time to answer those questions. The boys were Class C/D Section IV runner-ups last year.
