Murphy: We haven't had a prac tice yet. We just got done with try outs this past week and we have our second meeting on Thursday. We start practice Friday and our next match the following Thursday. But I think they're excited about a new year and they're ready to get going and be as competitive as possible. Beacon: Now you have a young team? Murphy: They're a very young team. I think we have five guys re turning from last year and I believe four of them are sophomores. Out of the five new guys I believe three of them are freshmen, one's a sophomore, and one's a junior. We'll definitely be young. Half the team wasn't even on the team last year. But they're good players. The scores came in from the week-end with the tryouts and they're pretty good.
