I am thankful to have had the opportunity to coach this group this year. I sincerely really enjoyed coaching this team. Though it is always tough to see a season come to an end, I am already excited about what the 2024 Rosemont Ravens can do. I told the guys after the game that they can take tomorrow off, but they should start preparing for next season on Monday. Knowing these guys, they will take that message to heart."
