Coach’s Comment: “We are going into our third season at Newfound and successfully changing the culture that surrounds the program,” Kershaw said. “Built of the values of family, brotherhood, and hard work. For the 2018 season we are hoping to build off the strides that we made last year. I saw our players finally come together as a team in 2017 and I’m looking forward to using that momentum this fall.

“We will have a solid number of returning players with game experience which will help our younger players adjust to the varsity level. Overall I am looking forward to the 2018 season, we do have a big challenge ahead of us week 1 with Bishop Brady.”
