2017 OUTLOOK
"We are very excited about this team! We are going to be young but we have guys with lots of "baseball" experience. We feel we can build off of a 20 win season, compete for a Conference Championship, and make a nice run come tournament play. We will need a few guys to step up and solidify our pitching staff as we have 11 wins we have to replace but we feel strongly that with the off season work the guys put in we should be able to do that." Head Coaches Aaron Davidson and Brandon Ruffridge
