| Grand Rapids Defense |
The Varsity team will return 14 starters from last year. With no seniors on the team in 2010, this years team will be seasoned and ready to compete in the MBSLA North.
Second year coach Brad Gallop believes defense will be the teams strength in 2011. "We had no seniors on last years team, and this years team will be led by two returning seniors," said coach Gallop. On defense three returning starters will provide the anchor this year with a couple additional underclassmen stepping up to complete the unit, according to Gallop. Coach Gallop believes, "In our second varsity season we expect to compete in every game and we're making a .500 record our goal."
