OUTLOOK
Coach Bellhorn: "The Eagles look to build upon the 2023 season which saw some solid wins in the regular and post season. Five Eagle seniors graduated from the 2023 class, leaving a few holes to fill in the infield and outfield. However, the pitching rotation remains in tact with the addition of two healthy left handed arms that were sidelined last year with injuries."
