Williamsburg on cusp of big things
- Updated: June 2, 2015
An experienced team that knows how to win the Williamsburg seniors look to head back to the playoffs for the second time in the past three years. There has never been a class in the history of the program that has made it to the post-season twice during their careers.
With confidence high after winning five of its final seven games in 2014 Williamsburg has the ball rolling heading into this fall. A two-point loss to Batavia was the only thing that kept them from the SBAAC National championship a year ago. Motivating this group will not be a problem for head coach Scott Lefker.
The Wildcats are in a position to elevate the program to new heights. Taking that step forward is not a far-fetched goal for this group.
Division VI, Region 22
2014 RECORD: 5-5, 3-1 SBAAC National
COACH: Scott Lefker (34-27 @ Williamsburg, six years, 34-27 overall)
