SEASON OUTLOOK
The Blue Valley Southwest Timberwolves return 125 of their 150 inning on the mound in 2017 and will have as much depth offensively and defensively.  Leading the way will be a pair of college committed seniors.  Senior SS Chris Esposito (Washburn), and All-State selection a year ago, will lead the infield, while senior C Reid Briney (Johnson County) will be an experienced game caller behind the plate.  The Timberwolves look to improve on their 8-13 record from a season ago and will have the talent and depth to make a statement late in the season.
