“We played some quality teams again and did well overall,” Marshfield coach Steve Lindner said. “We gained tremendous experience and saw some things we can take as coaches back to improve on the season. Some players were put into different positions and we saw where their strengths are and where we as coaches need to place players for the optimal success.”
