The Colorado high school season is nearing quickly, and we're here to cover it. Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we'll publish our team previews ahead of the 2023 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into a countdown through the official PBR Colorado Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Team: Chaparral
League: Continental
2022 Record: 22-7 / 9-1 Conference
Classification: 5A
Head Coach: Alan DiGiosio
Years at the Helm: 8


OUTLOOK:
 

 This Chaparral squad will return five everyday starters to their lineup in 2023. Last season, we saw the Wolverines win the Continental League and make it to the final 4 in the 5A state playoffs. There will be plenty of tough outs throughout this lineup and a slew of tough pitchers at the Wolverines’ disposal. This is a deep and hungry group heading into 2023.
