Redbirds Roster Updated

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that the roster has been updated (as of Jan 24th) and there are a few new additions. We have added somemore local talent. It should be a fantastic summer.

 

Will be tough to top last summer's great finish in reaching the championship game, but this solid group looks like it has the potential and the lumber.
