DESIRE A Lasting Impression of this season was the intensity and desire to win that the boys showed while scraping out many close victories, such as the Battle of the Jug at Brighton, and at home versus Alta. DETERMINATION It was obvious that the boys had a\"never give up\" attitude. Even when trailing, the boys always knew they could come out on top. 146 ~----------------------------------------------------------~
