Coach's Prospect 2011: The Tigers will return seven starters and five other players with Varsity experience. Although experience is not an absolute with regards to success it paves the way when you’re preparing for a short season and time is of the essence. We will have a good mix of veteran players which should help establish some continuity in our play early. We look to be competitive in the DVC, Barrington tournament and Pepsi showdown.
