I think Casey is definitely embracing that leadership role. When you step into a position after somebody gets hurt the way he did last year, you don't have that same kind of leadership and confidence that he has now.
That's our main concern. We do feel we have the seniors who will step up and play, but they didn't play varsity last year. Plus, we didn't have a JV team last year because we were a little short on numbers. So these guys haven't had a lot of game experience.
He's a really neat kid, and he doesn't get too wrapped up in the stats. He really epitomizes a team player.
These are some of the hardest working kids I've ever seen. Casey, Sean Michael and Dean have all led the way. It's been very exciting so far. One thing that has also been great is the coaching staff. Everyone is full of energy, and that's important to the kids.
