Head Coach Gary McIntosh says, "This was definitely not how we had hoped to finish the season. We came up short on our goal to reach the playoffs. The seniors this year are great guys on and off the field. I'm proud of how they led the team throughout the season. These are guys who love Jesus and love their teammates. They have given everything to this program and done everything I've ever asked of them, and they will be missed."
