The Wildcats have been the NE8 champions for the past three years. Wernicki thinks this team has lots of potential this year.

Wernicki has a great team this year for the Wildcats.

“I am very excited about this season and what our potential can be. We have a great group of young men who are working hard and I can’t wait to see where it leads,” says Wernicki.
