If the Highlanders are able to keep everyone together, they lose just 2 players over the next 2 seasons including Blake Smith. Mike Jones and staff have put together a solid nucleus of young players – Green, Price, and Anderson. Expect Radford to continue to improve and challenge next season for the North Division championship.
