SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

• “Marian is a very good team. I think they are better than last year when they finished #20 in the nation. Our guy's team just came out on fire and played extremely well. We are a very good team and super deep. The crazy thing about this team is we are going to get better. These guys are pushing each other in practice, encouraging one another, and hungry to do something really special this year. It’s going to be a fun year.”
