SEASON OUTLOOK

“We are very young and still inexperienced as a team overall,” Kline said. “I am very pleased with this year’s freshman class and what is coming up through the middle school and our youth program. We are placing the foundation on building our program for many years to come. It will take time, but we will get there.”

Kline’s vision is based on not settling “to just be average.”

“We are continuing on changing our culture. Our seniors will lead by example in the room. The way we train every day, and we need to become more physical. We have to lead by example outside the practice room as well.”
