League: Class 4A Southeast League

Head coach: Krysta Ortiz, 10th season

Outlook: A difficult non-league schedule made the Falcons match-ready for league play last year, and with 10 returnees, they’re hoping to be in the hunt again this year.

“We’re highly-motivated and athletic,” Ortiz said. “We have strong team chemistry and are determined to improve every day and plan to compete well into the postseason.”
