Coach’s quote: “We had a great season and I was happy with the way the team played in its playoff match. We will miss the seniors next year, but we are excited for them to take the next step in their lives. I am grateful to have the opportunity to coach the boys’ team this year and want to thank the families and school community for the support they gave us this year. We hope to get more interest in the team for next year to improve the numbers.” – Concord’s Kevin Parsons
