UNDERCLASS PLAYERS TO WATCH
2016 Thomas Miller is a player to watch for the Flyers. Miller was an All-Conference and All-Section performer last year as a sophomore. The right-handed hitter/left-handed thrower brings athleticism to Little Fall's outfield.
X-FACTOR
The Flyer's will need to find players to replace the production they received from All-State pitcher Kyle Boser and 2-year starting catcher Alec Zack.
2015 OUTLOOK
Little Falls returns a strong nucleus; along with some newcomers that should be able to pick up the slack after losing key players to graduation. Hallberg, Bell, and Zawatzke were all All-Section performers last year providing talent and leadership from the senior class. The Flyer's season has ended in the Section finals 3 out of the last 4 years. Their hope is to finally break through their tough section which includes St. Cloud Cathedral, Albany, Foley, Rocori, Minnewaska and Osakis; and advance to the State Tournament.
