"We will be more competitive going forward over the next two seasons," Kadamus said.
He said having the Wildcats reach an overall .500 record is a reasonable goal for the coming season.
As for big games and tough opponents coming up, Kadamus said Ellington, Windsor Locks and Avon will provide his team some of their biggest challenges this year.
"We are young but growing and the players are very encouraged about the new season," he said.
The Wildcats play Windsor Locks at home today at 3:45 and head to Granby to take on the Bears on Tuesday at 3:45.
