The Indians are fresh off a bounce-back 2024 that included 10 wins and a Sweet 16 run. That team was extremely young, and now those veteran players are ready to accomplish more this time around.

PRESEASON INFO

2024 Record: 10-6; 1A DII State Sweet 16; #8 State Rank

Strengths: “Here in my second year as head coach, I think our midfield will be a strength for us if the players progress like they should,” says Cartee. “We were predominantly freshmen last year across the mid-field, so a year of experience will definitely help in this position.”

“The expectations that we set every year are to be competitive in every game and to make the playoffs,” adds Cartee. “Our goal is to Finish in the top two of the region. We are only as strong as our team will allow us to be through hard work and self-less play. If our boys work hard then we can hope the Lord will bless us with some victories.”
