Move-Ins Move Lady Mules’ Expectations Even Higher After Record Season

weezel32

Chet Snyder’s Fairfield Lady Mules are coming off a historic 31-9 season that included a school record for wins, and their first trip to the volleyball Super Sectional a year ago. They also won the Benton Invitational for the first time ever. They lost six girls from that squad, but returned a solid nucleolus that had expectations still high. Then, over the summer a group of move-ins to Fairfield sent those expectations soaring, as the Lady Mules should be one of the best 2A teams in the south this year. Six Departed Last year’s six seniors helped take the program … Continue reading Move-Ins Move Lady Mules’ Expectations Even Higher After Record Season

They return a ton, except for up front on offense, but the Badgers tend to be a reload team at o-line, not a rebuild one.
