High Flyers Coachs Remarks


"Senior night brings out a lot of emotions, and we definitely saw that tonight with a 9-5 scoreline. Without a doubt it was the craziest game I have ever been a part of; but I am extremely proud to have shared this night with our seniors and the entire team. They now have an amazing story to share at future homecoming weekends!"
