Head Coach Scott Limbaugh on the 2024 Pauma Valley Invitational
“This is a new event and we are excited to play here. It’s an opportunity to grow and play on some different grass against different competition. Both things we think can help us moving forward. We know we can be better than we were our last time out, both physically and mentally. We have to keep earning the right to be the toughest team we can be. I’m excited to have Jackson back with us and I am excited to see this group compete together.”
