Several seniors helped lead the program this season, providing leadership and experience while helping guide the Warriors through a challenging schedule.
Although the season ended in regional play, Lincoln-Way West’s campaign reflected the commitment and hard work of the players and coaching staff, with younger players gaining valuable experience as the program looks ahead to the future.
