Dan wasn't a starter last season but he's really stepped up his game. He's one of our co-captains along with John Moll and he brings some fire to the court.

They stayed calm, cool and collected. That's the one thing I'm most proud of, how they stayed in control.

Drew is a big swing hitter. But experience playing club for so many years helped him in the middle now. His experience alone could get him through that spot.

We'll look for good offense out of John. He's the weapon everyone knows we have and he's one of the top outside hitters in the division.

I actually think of all the years I've been here with the program, this is the team with the best chemistry together. This is the best overall talent, there's a lot of depth.

Matt and Paul can step in at any moment. We want to get them some experience under their belts and get them into the varsity rotation about midway through the season.

He's very intense, kind of the glue for the team. He's motivated every player on the court. He's definitely a huge asset, not just skill-wise.

The guys really want to bring back a county championship. It's been a while that we could call ourselves county champions, and it's something we're pushing for this year. We also want to be in a position to make a run for a state title at the end of the season.

This could be year to get it done. This is the first uniformed team in many years. They're competitive and they push each other. We've started the season at a high level and we have a lot of depth.
