Senior Kelsey Thomas and junior Jace Cundiff will step up to the varsity level this season after seeing a majority of their time on junior varsity last season.
“We expect to compete every night. We bring back a group of players who are willing to work hard and they will have to compete every day in practice for playing time. So we hope that translates well for us during the season,” El Dorado Springs head coach Beau Swopes said.
El Dorado Springs opens its season on Nov.21 at Sherwood.
