First half analysis: A young, inexperienced with a new head coach has taken its lumps as they adjust to a new system. The loss of one of their few veterans, Justin Engdahl, for the season to injury hasn't helped as the Witches have been shut out in five of their 11 games.
Team MVP thus far: Chris Smith, D (1-3-4). Veteran blueliner has talent and ability to keep playing when he gets out of high school.
Second half outlook: Continued improvement within coach Brian Addesa's system will only benefit Salem in the future. With 11 of this year's varsity players back next winter, their hard work over the next four weeks will pay off in 2008-09.
