2020 REVIEW
Last year was the team’s second season under head coach David Gillett. It was hard for them to find their footing with some of the uncertainty surrounding the season due to COVID-19. The team finished with a 2-7 record, however they did finish the regular season by winning two of their last three games. “I feel like our growth continued to show as a program,” Gillett says of last season, “I truly feel we have laid a foundation for great things to happen in the future. The three seniors did so much for us this past season.” Neodesha loses three seniors, including Phoenix Carpenter (Sterling College) who is playing at the next level.
