The Wildcats must replace six senior pitchers who logged every inning of every game in 2014. A strong sophomore class will be relied upon to help with the rebuilding process in the rugged Wright County Conference-West. Senior's Treyton Austvold and Issac Goetzman will help lead a young group into battle. The Wildcats will have to weather the storm facing the likes of Glencoe-Silver Lake, Litchfield, and Dassel-Cokato.
