Quotes from Coach Ben Huth: “We’re a small school and we’re always sharing athletes. It seems like every year for the last five years, I’ve had to recruit a goalie. The seniors run the summer workouts and they kept telling me 'wait ‘til you see this kid.' I’m happy Kyle decided to play and really happy he’ll be back for another year, now we can build on the year. He has made so much improvement over the year and his confidence has been building with the experience. He played a phenomenal game in the championship.”
