Biggest challenge: "I'm not sure about the biggest challenge we will have," Bergan said. "The team will focus and prepare one day at a time, and we will hopefully be ready for each game. Every team we face brings a new challenge and with that, we will prepare the best we can for success and greatness on the field."

Coach's assessment: "We feel fortunate to be having a season this year," Bergan said. "There are high expectations that have been set by the team, and the athletes are on the field working hard to make sure they achieve those expectations during practice. I am excited to be a part of such a great crew of athletes. They are nothing short of amazing young men who are ready to battle day in and day out to reach their goals."
