Season outlook: The Saints graduated a wealth of talent from last year. Grady and Ladd were both all-state players while a number of the other seniors were experienced veterans. Only a handful of upperclassmen return. There’s a sizeable group of freshmen but much of the team is unproven. The Saints have potential, but it will take time to build a seasoned varsity squad.
