Girls’ team: low in numbers, high in determination

Gregg Sasan enters his second year as head coach and anticipates the team to improve, benefiting from stability in the program.

Gregg Sasan enters his second year as head coach and anticipates the team to improve, benefiting from stability in the program.

Even after making the playoffs last year, Sasan believes the team has the ability to improve.

“We have a couple of good returning players and I am expecting us to do better this year with some consistency,” he said.

However, Sasan has the challenge of a very small team to fill both a varsity and junior varsity squad.

“We have some younger girls coming up that will contribute, but the problem we have is our numbers,” he said. “We only had 13 girls turn out for the program. The players know it and we are dealing with it. No players are complaining about playing time, that’s for sure.”

Sasan smiles as he navigates the prospect of having only six or seven girls on varsity, but is genuinely optimistic about the talent of his team and expects the team to win the games they should win and be more competitive against the stronger teams in the league.

The girls played Concrete on Dec. 3, beating the team mightily with a 63-14 win.
