Coach Volden said, "I can't tell you how proud of my teams I am this year. Last year, we had 3 teams qualify for the playoffs all year. This Fall, we're already sending 11 teams in 5 different titles. Some of them are still undefeated and we're more than halfway through the season. They've all been working hard, getting in some good practice and I'm confident they stand a good shot at winning their tournaments this semester."

Sophomore Landon Davis said "I feel like we're all really stepping up this year. Last year was our first year and it felt like people saw Seward County and thought we were an easy team to beat. Now, we show up and the other team knows they're in for a fight."

There are two weeks left in the regular season before Thanksgiving break.
