WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Knights will be strong again in 2023 coming off a 20 win season and conference championship in 2022. They return ace Jacob Kirby, and Michael Craft gives them a solid defender up the middle to go along with some talented underclassmen that look ready to step in and play key roles this year.
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We are really excited to build upon successes from last year, and push the envelope with a solid mix of upper and underclassmen.
