OUTLOOK: 

After a very strong 2019 season the Wildcats will look to rebound in 2020 as they return some key pieces, but also lots of untested pieces. The young arms will be the biggest question for West Ranch and how they go could depend on how the season goes. To help the young arms will be a solid defense and offense ready to work and do damage. Even with younger players, Coach Burrill believes in his roster and sees another strong season in the Foothill expecting the Wildcats to be one of the top teams yet again. If their arms can make the jumps, a run in the Division 1 Southern Section playoffs isn’t out of the question.
