Cuyahoga Heights fells one win short in their pursuit of a Division IV state championship last year.

Fresh off a 25-5 season, Coach Marc Lowther’s is looking to replace several key parts in his lineup with only three returning starters in his everyday lineup and one pitcher in his rotation.

The Redskins will compete for a Chagrin Valley Conference title against the likes of reigning champ Beachwood, Independence, and Hawken.
