Coach’s Quote/Outlook
“Always to win a state championship within the DCDS program and community. However, our greatest goal is to focus on what it takes to win a state championship. We want to focus every day on being champions, whether it be a practice, shoot around or a strength and conditioning session, we want to approach everything with a championship mentality. “We not me” is our motto for the year as we focus on approaching everything as a TEAM.
We have a very tough schedule, playing some of the best teams not only in the state but around the Midwest. We are excited for the challenge and have a lot of pride in winning on the road.” – Coach Deane
