Expectations for This Season: “In terms of wins and losses we try not expect outcomes. We rather put our expectations on the things that we know we have control over.

We feel that if we do our best to stick with this simple formula then the others things will fall into place.” -Tom Barron, Head Coach of Boys’ Varsity Basketball
Challenges Expected: “It’s a long season and every year challenges arise that are unexpected and as always we will have to make adjustments and deal with those challenges the best that we can, But looking at our squad and going into the season I think that our biggest challenge on the court will be rebounding the basketball.” -Tom Barron, Head Coach of Boys’ Varsity Basketball

Expectations for This Season: “With many other teams losing lots of seniors, the experience our younger players gained last year is going to help us win games this time around. Last year was a building one. In the 2017-2018 season, with the veterans’ knowledge, the underclassmen’s valuable experience, and much more talent in our depth chart, our eyes are set on the state title and that’s going to be our goal from day one.” -Peter Loescher, Co-Captain of Boys’ Varsity Hockey
Challenges Expected: “We are a small team in stature. In order to be successful, we need to skate fast, play with a chip on our shoulder, and go into each game with the expectation of winning. If the squad is able to carry out these things, I believe we will win lots of games.” -Peter Loescher, Co-Captain of Boys’ Varsity Hockey
