2015 OUTLOOK
WDM Valley will have a new look this Summer. The Tigers graduated a significant amount of players and talent off their State Tournament qualifying team in 2014. The program has good depth and talent waiting in the wings to experience their first taste of varsity action. They will be asking a lot of players to contribute significantly with very little overall varsity experience.
