2017 OUTLOOK
"This is a team that is experienced and has seen it all. The junior class has been playing varsity since they were in 8th grade. This team has gone from an 0-21 season 3 years ago to following with a 9-17 2015 and an 11-11 2016. They also had a playoff win in 2015 a year after the 0-21 2014 season. There are a lot of good kids who are very involved at the school.

This year we are looking at our older guys improving and maintaining their roles while we're looking for a few of our new guys to step up especially on the mound. We need pitching to be successful and we've just lacked enough depth the last few years." Head Coach Tanner McClenahan
