Coach’s comment: “Our team has one goal — state championship. They know that it’s very difficult to accomplish that goal. We will be looking to get our post involved more. Javi Larreta and Jorge Franco bring the energy for us. Isaiah Marrufo has a defensive mindset. We are looking to compete in our region, but also looking to sneak into the Open Division.”
