The team didn’t lose many seniors, so there are alot of returning players meaning “everyone has been playing with each other longer,” who are currently on the team. This is going to help the team win more according to Jablon.
“The Fallston game,” is the game Jablon is most excited for the team to play this year. He hopes that “everyone plays hard and keeps their spirits high on the team,” for the whole season. The team has been showing “good work,” according to Jablon at practices.
Senior captain Ian Fox says he knows the team can “bring it back,” later in the season to make up for the first two losses of games. Fox says the team is wanting to “win at least 7 games, and get better overall as players and as a team.”
This year Fox says the team seems to have “a lot more communication and we work alot better as teammates compared to last year.”
The team hasn’t done any team bonding yet outside of practice but Fox says the “best bonding they’ll get,” is hanging out after practice “with each other in the locker rooms.” There has been a lot of “hard work on plays,” during practice according to Fox.
Senior captain Ethan Hartlub has a positive outlook on how the season is going to play out because “they have a lot more seniors this year and alot more team chemistry,” said Hartlub. Hartlub said he expects to have a “good competitive season.”
