Frederica Academy saw their season end last year in the second round of the playoffs against Deerfield Windsor. The Knights have improved the last two seasons in the win column.
Two years ago they went 7-4 and last year that went 9-2. I don’t see the trend stopping this year.
Head coach Brandon Derrick’s Knights are a little more dialed in this year. They could make a lot of noise in the next few months.
