COACH NIC HUFFMAN'S COMMENTS

The weather was the nicest opening weekend to an outdoor season I've ever experienced. It set us up to perform well and we did. There were so many good things that went on throughout the two days. I'm pleased with how we competed and we should improve from here. We will get some rest and get back to work Monday. I can't wait to see what we do this season.
