2020 OUTLOOK:
Very talented group of players that are extremely tough mentally. We have a great mixture of young and veteran players that will compete every night, never taking a pitch off. This group of guys have done something no other Big Red team has done, going to state three years in a row while winning a state title in 2018. Going up to 3A last season and ending the season again at Principle Park was a testament to their toughness and trusting each other. Our goal each season is to end at the state tournament and this group, in a crazy 2020 has the potential to make a long run into August once again!Head Coach Ryan Hodges
