"I think everyone on our team saw it coming (IHSA moving the season from fall to spring). I was hoping for fall like everyone else but I also knew in my mind it wasn't going to happen. I'm going to take the extra time and now and get better along with hitting the weight room hard. My focus all off season has been on adding more muscle along with getting faster, stronger and just having better overall technique."
