Coach Remmert's Outlook: I'm proud of our past accomplishments, but I have serious doubts moving forward and our team coming together properly. Lingering injury issues, lack of confidence, as a result, lack of leadership to push the rest of the team toward greatness, motivational issues all cast a shadow over our season.
Carson's Thoughts: I'm not buying the story of Coach Remmert. He has been the coach of some amazing teams and definitely has the squad to win another state title. They return their top 11 runners and will definitely be the team to beat if they can stay healthy.
