Last week, I talked extensively about how Lakes Valley Conference teams are closing the gap on White Lake Lakeland’s recent dominance. I think the inverse is taking place in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with the Saline Hornets. Coach Kyle Zagata has been building them up for the past few seasons, and they’ve climbed the ranks of the SEC during that span. They enter this season in the driver’s seat, easily the best team in the conference and returning a wealth of top players. The Hornets have gone from 8-16-1 in ‘19-20 to a 20-win performance last season.
