2017 OUTLOOK
"Lost a lot of talent off a team that had qualified for state tourney three straight years. Have good seniors again with talented underclassmen. Have to find a way to improve our offensive numbers and reduce our strike outs. Pitching will be solid again with team back at full strength. Goal remains the same, and hope to continue to peak by the time post season rolls around." Head Coach Cale Kramer
