Quote about Upcoming Season: ”We must stay injury free and develop depth to be successful.”

Other Coaches' Comments: ”I have a tremendous amount of respect for coaches that have been successful over the long haul. We are fortunate to have a lot of those guys still around; Bruney (MF), Saccoccia (Steub.), Circosta (MC), Bahen (SCC), Pobolish (BL). I also believe that there are some great young coaches that are ready to carry the torch on to the next generation like McLean (St.C.), Cisar (UL), etc. Football will always be important to people in the valley and we are very lucky to have a multitude of good coaches and programs to have a positive influence on our kids.”
