Outlook for 2010:

Wilson graduated 13 seniors, including 8 with significant varsity minutes.  Also, 4 of last year’s coaches have moved on due to graduate school or other coaching opportunities, including long-time HC Doug Foster.  It will be a rebuilding year, but there are quality underclassmen ready for more varsity playing time.  Once again, the Trojans should be able to compete for a play-off spot this season.
