Senior RHP Matthew McWilliams (Wichita State), senior C Luke Moehle and junior SS/RHP Elijah Rash all look to build on last years All-State performance and the 26-3 record last season. Also watch for senior infielders Russel Cook and David Beccera to have a major impact this spring. The Eagles will have a pair of juniors who will see increased time in RHP Clayton Medling and C Blake Roubebush, while sophomore Aiden Satterfield looks to see time in the outfield. Senior Zane Vanatta will also contribute on the infield this spring. The Eagles look to repeat as district champions again this spring and compete for the Class 3 state title.
