2016 Spring Team Preview: Crestview Rebels

Head Coach: Dan Hill
Division: III
2015 Record: 17-7
Conference Record: Inter Tri-County, N/A
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/4
2016 Team Strengths:
- Starting pitching

2016 Team Weaknesses:
- Ability to get on fields early in season

Coach Outlook: With all pitchers returning and LHP Michael McDonough (OSU commit) heading that list, the Rebels look to contend for league and district crowns in 2016. Crestview has an upgraded schedule with Ursuline, Mooney, Boardman, Western Reserve and South Range on the slate. This should prepare them for a grinding Division III district in Northeast Ohio. The core returns for this season and the Rebels look to be very competitive.
