Coach Brian Thacker is developing Bloom Carroll into a regular contender amongst the state’s top Division III level teams.

Coming off a 23-7 record along with a Mid State Buckeye Division Championship, the Bulldogs return a young, talented squad. While six players return in the everyday lineup, the team will need to develop pitching behind senior ace Jake Newton.

Coach Thacker and his squad will defend their league title against the likes of Canal Winchester, Teays Valley, and Hamilton Township.
