The Ravens took second in the SPSL Central 4A and fifth at the West Central District III tournament last season, with junior Nolan Cull and Kevin McPeak moving on to state play. Cull, who finished 12th in the 4A state tourney, returns to lead the Ravens.

“He is the top player in our division and one of the top players in the state in his grade,” coach Tom Adams said.

Although the Ravens lost McPeak to graduation, they return experience in seniors Josh Kumar, Mitch Blanchard, Ben Blanchard and Casey Shultz. Toss in a pair of talented newcomers – juniors Jordan McDonald and Richard Blix – and the Ravens might have what it takes to contend at district and state play.

“I expect Nolan and a couple other players to make it to the state tournament and vie for a top-five finish at state,” Adams added.
