“The Toppers worked hard all year and the team’s attitude was positive right to the end,” head coach David Holmes said. “I want to thank our four senior — Chris Davies, Travis Garner, Kevin Hitchel, and Kyle Schroeder for their dedication to the program. The credit goes to these four leaders for instilling a belief that our young team could win any game on the schedule.”
