Coach's Quote
"This year's version of the Saints fastball team is a much younger team than we have been used to in past years and may need a little more time to mature during the season than some of the teams from the past, who have started fast in the league. We have recruited a solid base for the 2012 season and beyond and barring injuries, we should be a very competitive again."
Bill Smith, St. Clair Head Coach
