What’s your favorite moment of the season so far?
“My favorite moment was probably when Dallas Hopson hit the game-winner against Traverse City Central. It was a great shot and awesome to get revenge on TCC after losing to them last year.”

“I think the strongest part of our team this year is our chemistry. We just all like to play with each other, which makes it fun to play in games and fun to come to practice.”
