Head Coach Shelby Kastner had the following comments about the season.

“The boys had a winning season. They also placed first at their Monarch Baker Tournament, fifth at the Hawkeye 10 conference tournament, and placed second at districts and qualified as a team for the state tournament. Jake Fink qualified for state as an individual. It was very exciting for Jake as he made it all the way to the finals and ended up placing second. This year's team was very young. We ended the season with one senior, three sophomores and two freshmen. Jake and Ethan both brought experience to the team and were able to pass it along to the other members. The team learned a lot this year and what it takes to compete at a higher level. They're already thinking about what they need to work on next year so they can continue to have success.”

“The girls had a winning season. They also placed first at their Monarch Baker Tournament, first at the Hawkeye 10 conference tournament, and placed fourth at districts. Unfortunately, the team did not make it to state this year. In the individual portion of state qualifying, Brianna Musgrave and Brittany Musgrave qualified. It was very exciting for Brianna as she made it all the way to the finals and ended up placing second. The dynamic of the team this year was interesting as the varsity finished with three seniors and three freshmen. The seniors did a great job leading the freshmen, showing them what the sport is about, and the freshmen have a good base to set themselves up for the rest of their high school careers. We will graduate three seniors from the varsity team (five seniors total). We're excited to see how the team grows next year and who is going to step into those leadership roles.”
