2017 OUTLOOK
"We return a lot of players with starting varsity experience back. Really good team speed and should be top 5 in most offensive categories again this year in 3A. We have a lot of pitchers who threw limited varsity innings returning. If they can be consistent on the mound then we should be a very tough team again." Head Coach JR Gebhart
