What to expect: Mountain Valley graduated many players from last year’s team so the focus during preseason was to fill positions and for the players to learn how to play next to each other as a cohesive unit. The girls desire to play quality field hockey and come together as a unit has impressed the coaches. The inexperience in the beginning of the season will be a weakness, although one the Falcons believe they will quickly overcome.
