HEAD COACH BROCK MOREAUX
"I was really pleased with how both teams competed at our home opener – I think it set the tone perfectly heading into Huntsville this weekend. The North Alabama Showcase will be a great opportunity for us to run shoulder to shoulder with some high quality competition. There will be over thirty teams competing on a championship caliber course. In addition, this trip will be a great team bonding experience for our kids as well. I'm excited to have the whole group back together in action."
