Team comments from head coach Brent Norberg
“We feel if we can take care of the ball and rebound we can be very competitive in Class AA. We have a lot of experience returning and have an athletic group that is very unselfish. We play our best in transition and our experience allows us to be very versatile on offense. We need to be consistent on the glass and on defense to be successful this year.“
