SENIOR DAY THOUGHTS FROM COACH FOSTER: 

"This is a special group of seniors, despite not having a traditional freshmen season they have grown so much in their four years. They bring a passion for the game and set the tone for our team. Not the outcome we wanted on their senior day but excited to see what the rest of the season has in store for us."
