A word from Coach Smith

about the 2009-2010 Season...
We will be competing in the 3A - 9 district; down from 4A where we were very competitive. With 4 returning starters and a strong freshman class (4) we should be a contender for the district title. Tenoroc will once again rely on a pressure defense, and will have plenty of speed to run the floor on offense.
