PBR Colorado Staff

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: Loveland
League: Front Range
2022 Record: 15-9 / 5-6 Conference
Classification: 5A
Head Coach: Darryl Baca
Years at the Helm: 1st


OUTLOOK:
The Loveland Red Wolves are under a new head coach in the program thanks to Darryl Baca taking things over. Coach Baca is optimistic about this team heading into 2023 since they are returning six starters from last year, and all three of their top arms. Most of these returners are also seniors so their experience could be on display early and often for this team. The Red Wolves are looking to compete day in and day out in the Front Range League this season.
