Match or exceed from last year: “We hope to be vastly improved from last year’s team,” Morrow said. “Even though we were competitive in most of our games, we only got a couple of wins. Hopefully, we can change that this season.”

Team strength: “We will be more athletic this year,” he said.

Team weakness: Our weakness is going to be inexperience,” Morrow said. “We have to get guys to step up and play roles that they aren’t used to playing. We’ll have to see how they develop and get used to new responsibilities.”

Toughest opponents: “Our conference,” he said.

College prospects: “Taylor Ring,” Morrow said. “He’s strong, athletic and a competitor. He plays a lot of roles for us.”
