TOP PLAYERS (Listed Alphabetically)

Skylar Hittle, RHP/C/1B, Class of 2014, 1st Team All-NCK League
Drake Hake, SS, Class of 2015, 1st Team All-NCK League
Jordan Mehl, 3B, Class of 2014, 1st Team All NCK League
Tanner Gilbert, CF, Class of 2015, 1st Team All-NCK League

KEY NEWS/STAT: 

Ethan Bechard, IF, Class of 2016
Trevor Tholstrup, OF, Class of 2016

OUTLOOK:  

The bad news for the Panthers is they lose two players named to the 4A All-State team last year, namely 4A Pitcher of the Year Nathan Gleber.  The good news is they return four 1st Team all-NCK performers from last year, more than any other team in the league.  In addition, three pitchers with significant innings are back.  They also have two sophomores that look to push for playing time this spring in Ethan Bechard and Trevor Tholstrup.
