Mike Floch approached me this Spring asking if he could fill the vacant Boys Junior Varsity Position this Fall. He told me that his first order of business was going to be surrounding himself with good help. Mike has found good help, and I'd like to welcome Kyle Kreps to our staff. Coach Kreps was offered a paid coaching position this Fall, but accepted this volunteer position instead. Below is a short introduction for Kyle. It is going to be a great Fall Season!
