Coach Nowicki's Thoughts

"We've made some great progress this season as a team. Our tumbling continues to improve, along with baskets and our showmanship. This is a young team with five freshman and two sophomores, who all work really hard to improve their skills and enhance the team. We're looking forward to coming back stronger next year! I'm also grateful for the years that we got to have seniors Abigail Penhorwood and Jordan Rowden on the mat. They both work hard and bring a lot of joy to the team. They will be missed next year."
