“We came out strong against North County and really worked to prefect everything we need to in order to get as far as we plan on going this season. In the John Carroll game, even though we came out a lot harder in the second half rather than the first, I couldn’t be happier with the effort and work put in by everyone. We never gave up and it showed, I am incredibly proud of our team so far this season,” stated Senior Captain Sam Keesey.
