First year head coach Wade Halverson believes it's an opportunity for the Orangemen to grow.

"I think the big thing is taking it a week at a time," Halverson said. "The nice thing with our schedule is you get to play the traditional powers like the Crete's, York's, and even Hastings back in the day... Then, you mix it up with an Omaha Northwest and a Wahoo, it's an opportunity for our guys to build off the schedule and maybe create some new rivalries."
