Academically, the Tigers had an astounding 13 players on the conference honor roll and two players on the CSC Academic All-District Team.

Coach Hill became the program’s all-time leader in career victories during the 2022-23 season and will begin this year with a 288-66 overall record over his first 13 seasons.
