According to the Coach

We return our top four pitchers. The three seniors have all signed to play baseball at the next level. Our junior pitcher, Brandon Willingham, is the best of them all and he's been getting looks from schools like Lee and Tennessee Tech. We lost two very good offensive players from last year but return everyone else. We expect to be good in all aspects of the game. We believe we will win the district, region, and will be in Murfreesboro again competing for a State Championship.
