Coach Maida's Thoughts
"The guys had a better weekend and we got a glimpse as to how good we can be. We will continue to put in the work each week and turn our weaknesses into strengths."

Coach Poston's Thoughts
"Our team scores were definitely better this weekend. We need to continue to focus on the little things. As we eliminate the small mistakes, we will continue to get better each and every week. I believe we will be even better next weekend. I was also happy for our JV girls who came out this weekend and got the win. That was fun!"
