What stands out about the 2011 season: “I will
never forget the teamwork and camaraderie that
resulted in a state championship. We all put in so much
hard work this year and in years past working towards
the goal of winning states. I think it gave us confidence
in our abilities and allowed each and every player to step
up at the right time to make us successful.”
