Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said "It feels good to get the season underway and have the boys put on a strong showing like they did. Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of work to do still and we will certainly get back to work on improving our system. But today was a solid showing and we will enjoy it for today. The guys are fighting hard and competing for every ball and it showed today. This season will be all about the process and next stop now is preparing for Warner next week."
