Coach Comments- After nearly qualifying Districts last season the fellas are eager make some noise this season. The squad returns four seniors. Our senior class will be the catalysts of the squad. (Sr.) Matthew Mileti will take over the reins. He gained valuable experience at the varsity level the last two seasons. Matthew qualified for sectionals and nearly advanced to state scoring a 76 at Windmill Lake. He’s a high level competitor. His short game is strong. (Sr.) Emmitt Naughton is primed for a strong campaign. His power will be on full display. The younger players are ready to compete and earn valuable varsity-time. Team Goals: Compete with the high level teams in the area, make noise in the CWC conference and make a deep run into the Division II tournament.
