Although Priest River will be losing a key senior, Charles Bennett to graduation, there is a strong group of returning players for next year’s team.

“It's been a real challenging year,” Whatcott said. “Due to injuries and other factors, we were only made up of six full-time varsity players. We had to do our best to make a competitive team with six JV floaters. Thankfully they were a great group of kids who worked their butts off to make it come together at the right time.”

Even though the Spartans have struggled, head coach Mark Schultz remains proud.
