When asked about his first season at SWCC, here is what David Mullins had to say “I am very proud of how the team competed. Obviously, the season didn’t go as any one of us hoped, but the team competed hard every game. Sometimes, the most successful seasons don’t come down to the wins and losses, but the lessons learned. I’m thankful for those lessons and truly thankful for the opportunity to coach this team”
