LePain will leave the program as one of the best coaches it has had ever. LePain led the Hurricanes to the playoffs in 2011 and 2012, both as a district runner-up. However, 2013 team went 5-5 and missed the playoffs after losing several skilled players to other programs in the area and facing a more challenging schedule in district competition.
