2017 OUTLOOK
"We have a lot of varsity experience at every position on the field. I believe we will have another athletic team with pitching depth. We have several quality run producers in our lineup but will need to see some improvement at the bottom of our lineup. Several kids have had to wait for an opportunity to play varsity baseball and they appear to be motivated to have another successful season." Head Coach Josh Soper
