“They had to overcome adversity, battled through injuries, and had to learn from failure,” Nims said. “Despite all that, we finished second in conference, qualified for the state tournament, and became a family. Even though we are losing some key players due to graduation, we have 11 players returning, which includes six starters. The future looks bright and I can’t wait to get back on the field in August.”
