As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.

Team: Tartan
Nickname: Titans
Class: AAA
League: Metro East
Head Coach: Curt Russell
Years as Head Coach at School: 14
2014 Overall Record: 10-13
2014 League Record: 8-8

2014 Post-Season Finish: 2-2

Returning Starters: 6

TOP RETURNERS
2015, Nolan Russell, MIF/C
2015, Connor O'Sullivan, C/RHP

UNDERCLASS PLAYERS TO WATCH
2016, Jay Zwak, LHP/1B/OF
2016, Connor Brass, RHP/1B

X-FACTOR
The Titans graduated 8 of their 10 wins from last season. Will need players to step up on the mound to be competitive.

2015 OUTLOOK
Co-Captains Nolan Russell and Connor O'Sullivan, who were both All-Conference Honorable Mention last year, will lead the charge into 2015. Both will be counted on heavily to provide senior leadership and direction for Tartan. O'Sullivan will be the Titans #1 on the mound and the rotation should be rounded out by juniors Jay Zwak and Connor Brass. With 6 returning position players; Tartan should be solid in the field and at the plate.
