2009-2010 Team Outlook:

We will be a young team again that is looking to build confidence and chemistry by the time district arrives.  We have some exciting Juniors that got great experience in last year’s campaign and we expect them to continue to improve and become leaders.  We also have some Seniors who played on the JV last season and performed really well; those players will have to step up their game to the Varsity level and be contributors in order to reach our goal of making the playoffs in District 9-4A.

Hobbies:

 I love playing golf and watching television, movies and sports.  I also love playing card games and dominoes.  My perfect day would be playing 18 holes in the morning and spending the entire afternoon playing dominoes or poker in the 19th hole while watching college basketball on television with my closest friends.
