COMMENTS:

With 2 seniors and 6 juniors this group will should be a good offensive team.

Our defense will improve as the year progresses because of the experience this group will gain with playing time. This group is very inexperienced and must improve our depth chart. This group will have to play together and have the same kind of ball movement and defensive effort that is a must for the Railers to be successful.

The Junior Class was 24-1 last year as sophomores. They are an excellent group to coach and fun to watch them player together as a team. This group will really improve as the season progresses. Call or email if you need more information. Email is the best way to contact. Thanks and we will see you soon.

It will be fun from a fan stand point to watch this year’s team grow because of the youth and inexperience. You must be prepared to play every night because we have a lot of teams that are good.

Along with our Apollo Conference schedule and our non-conference schedule we should be prepared for the post season. Our Non-Conference opponents are Bloomington, Rock Island, Chicago Harlan, Decatur Eisenhower, Normal West, Wheaton Warrenville South, Washington, Morton and Canton. We will also continue to participate in the Collinsville Christmas Tournament.
