We would like to thank all of our donors and fans who helped cheer us on this season. Thanks again to Coachie for coaching us through another great season, we would not be the same without you.  We will certainly miss our 13 seniors who are graduating this year. Hopefully we will have a spring season so that this is not their last game with Bates.
