JAKE SUTTON
ASSISTANT COACH
I’m very excited to be back with the Hoods for a second year. Last season was a great learning experience for me as a coach, and I’ve continued to develop and learn over the summer. I’m looking forward to putting that into practice and having an even greater impact this season. We’ve brought together a group with a lot of potential, and I’m excited to help develop that talent and contribute to the team’s success. Hopefully, we can build something special and get the club to where we want to be.
