The team had a fantastic spring-putting in a tremendous amount of hard work and building strong habits that will serve us well heading into summer” declares Howarth . “Every player knows the expectation: arrive in August fully fit, sharp, and ready to compete for their place in the lineup. I’m really excited to see what this group can accomplish this fall.”
