SEASON OUTLOOK
The Rock Bridge Bruins strength will be defensively and on the mound this spring. Look for seniors Nick Wohlbold (Tennesse-Martin) and Jack Widhalm (Quincy) to lead the way on the mound, followed by juniors Evan Crouse and Devin Bernskoetter. Sophomore Spencer Miles will also contribute on the mound for the Bruins this spring. Senior C JP Scheider and senior SS Jordan Smith will lead the defensively up the middle with help from sophomore 2B Wyatt Towe. Rock Bridge competes in one of the toughest districts in Missouri's Class 5, but looks to get back to the state tournament and advance behind their strong pitching and defense.
