Patriots look to rise under new head coach Matt Plunkett
There is a fresh breath of air in the Brewer Patriots’ locker room this year. Matt Plunkett has taken the reins of the Brewer program and infused new energy that has been missing the past couple of years.
The Patriots will be young and inexperienced, but Plunkett said they are excited about the season and the opportunity in front of them.
The Patriots open the season Aug. 20, hosting the Danville Hawks.
