Aug. 5—Happily naming off numerous players on his roster, Fairmont head coach Dave Miller feels his team is in a solid place heading into 2026.
Better than how last season played out. Coming off its first-ever GWOC ******* le in 2024, Miller believes there may have been some complacency after getting to the top.
"They kind of just thought they could show up whenever and it would work out, and it didn't," he said. "I've charted it. This group, their average has been 56 workouts. That's the average. A year ago it was 35."
While Fairmont knocked off league champ Springfield in the regular season, all six of their losses come by seven points or fewer — including a first-round playoff defeat in the final seconds at Lebanon.
The Firebirds have become a playoff mainstay under Miller's watch, making it in each of the past six seasons and eight times in his 10 years in charge.
