Season Outlook
Few teams will be as deep at the Blue Valley Tigers.  They return six position players and two starting pitchers from last year.  The Tigers will feature three players committed to Kansas State in their senior class.  2B Tanner Fox, OF/LHP, Will Brennan and SS Gunner Halter.  The trio all have significant varsity experience and look to make their senior year a memorable one at Blue Valley.  They have a strong supporting cast ont eh mound as well.  Tigers have a pair of senior pitchers carrying college commitment in senior RHP AJ Johnson, a SIU-Edwardsville recruit and Jared Demmel, a Cowley County commit. Junior LHP Daniel Hegarty, a Kansas commit, could see some quality innings in the already deep pitch pitching staff.  The Tigers look to make run a the Kansas State Championship.  They have the talent and a lot of depth to considered as one of the top team in 6A.
