Coach's Corner
- "Our battles with Haverford have been going on for the last 10 years. Back-and-forth battles with wins by a few points, it just makes it exciting. Hats off to them, they got us today, but I thought our guys competed really well and we'll be excited when we run in two weeks at Regionals."
