Servite’s Associate Athletic Director Joel Hartmann stated, “I am feeling positive about how things are right now. I expect them to improve every week, and I know they will because the coaching staff is fantastic. Overall, football takes a team effort and I am excited to see what the team can do. We will be the most prepared team every week.”
