District finish: “We had five guys qualify (to districts), but no one moved on to state,” coach Ray Elbin said. “Everyone who went won at least one match, so they competed well and did a great job.
“I wish (junior) Chikara Oshima and (senior) Connor Hoban could’ve gone to state, but they still did very well.”
Overall season: “I had a really great experience these past years on the team,” Hoban said. “Though Chikara (Oshima) and I really wanted to get to state, we still had a successful tournament run.
“I am so honored to have played alongside my teammates and become friends with each one of these respectable gentlemen.”
Outlook for next season: “We should still be a very strong team,” Elbin said. “We are going to miss seniors Connor (Hoban), Hayden (Gephart) and junior Chikara (Oshima) (who is graduating early).
“Even with these big losses, we will have good returning players and they will work hard over the summer to prepare for the season.”
