2015 OUTLOOK:
The Panthers look to be more competitive this spring with the return seven starters (six juniors, one sophomore) from a young 2014 team. The junior class includes RHP/IF Noah Hart (likely No. 1 starter on the mound), OF Zack Lux (three year varsity starter), SS Derrick Barger (three year varsity starter) and C Brooks McClane, who looks to return to the line-up after suffering a season ending injury at the midpoint on the 2014 season. A number of new faces, including underclassmen, look to battle for playing time.
