"I am proud of the accomplishments of the team for this year. Last year, we finished 5-5 with no postseason. This year, we ended the season 6-4, one win away from making it to the state playoff. I'm proud of our seniors, who grew as leaders and young men. We faced a lot of adversity. Injuries played a major role this season. We had many setbacks and challenges, but we faced those obstacles head-on. We had a number of close matches and fought for the win each time. We have some work to do in the off-season, but I am confident we will come back stronger and hungry next season," said Kiefel.
