Season Preview

Coach Huettl gave SDSB the following season preview information:

Team outlook:  As a team we are returning a number of young guys with a lot of experience that carry the TEAM aspect to the fullest and work hard and play as one.

Impact players:  I don’t believe that I will be able to pick one of my players before the other as an impact player.  I believe that they all will each bring something to the team that will impact the game in one aspect or another.

Toughest competition:  There are a number of teams in out conference that will be very competitive.  But, I look at the Faith team as a senior dominate team that will have a number of returning players and will be seniors.

New Players: I will have the addition of some young player’s not new players this year.

Other information:  I feel that the young but experienced player will be much improved as well as the leadership of older players will come forward.
