2017 Spring Team Preview: Lincolnview Lancers
Team Name: Lincolnview Lancers
Head Coach: Eric Fishpaw
Division: IV
2016 Record: 12-13
Conference Record: Northwest Conferece, 4-4
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 2/2
2017 Team Strengths:
- Depth of Pitching
- Team Speed
- Scoring Runs
2017 Team Weaknesses:
- Leadership
- Defense
Coach Outlook: "We have a load of talent in our Sophomore class but have limited Varsity experience. Lost 7 senior starters with multiple years of varsity letters. If we can find a few leaders out of our upper class to guide this team, we can have a very successful season."
PBR Outlook: The future looks bright for the coach Fishpaw and the Lancers, but after losing seven seniors from last year, the 2017 season could be a up and down year. That said, lookout for the Lancers later in the season when the sophomore class gets varsity experience.
