TOP PLAYERS
Spencer Dauphinee, RHP/3B, 2014

OUTLOOK:
The Lanesville Eagles are in a rebuilding state after last year's 5-16 record. Coach Russ McCubbins' squad returns five starters and two pitchers this spring. Senior Spencer Dauphinee returns after being injured in 2013. The 5-foot-9, 180 pound RHP/3B earned All Conference honors as a sophomore. Offensively the Eagles will look to Jr. SS Jon Ferree for production. Ferree led the Eagles with a .325 BA last year. Junior 2B/RHP returns after leading the team in ERA (3.12) and was second in hitting with a .313 BA. Leading Coach McCubbins' team behind the plate is 2013 All Conference selection Junior Caleb Gresham. The 6-foot-3, 200 pound catcher has started every game behind the plate since his freshman season. Other players expected to contribute are Junior RHP Jake Chanley and freshman INF/P Brenden Bube. Chanely could potentially become the Eagles ace of the pitching staff.
