2022 Season Recap

Though it was a tough season with no wins, the student-athletes on this team never gave up! The team’s strongest quality during the 2022 season was that they bonded as a team. From the first to the last game, their communication skills and commitment to each other improved immensely. Their performance in the Pomfret game was evidence of this improvement.
We wish nothing but the best for the five seniors who are on to new endeavors, and the wildcats look forward to the next season to start where we left off with this one!
