Despite the lack of experience, the boys proved their worth time and again by playing well in all the games and at times providing some thrilling moments for the fans. The seniors who gave their all have moved on while the underclassmen are eagerly looking forward to next year when they will fill the places vacated by the seniors and profiting by the experience gained during the past season, they will endeavor to get the team back among champions.
