Coach’s comment: “With a decent crop of returning players, I think we will be a bit more competitive than last season. We lost quite a few close individual contests and our team score was often 2-3. I expect that the tide will turn for us, and we will be in the thick of the league race.

“That is one of our goals: We would like to put up a strong fight for the league title. It’s been a few years since we’ve gotten one.

“I also expect that while many of our players grow and compete, Avalon and Tia will work towards the ultimate goal of a state berth. They’ve come close over the last couple of seasons. They are focused.”

First match: at Oak Harbor, 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 17.
