Season Outlook
Coach Garry Highfill will enter his first year as head coach of the Webb City Cardinals.  The Cardinals will return five position players and three pitchers from last year's team that finished in second place in the Central Ozark Conference and 18-14 overall.  Senior Channing Mickey earned First Team All Conference honors at first base last season.  He will have help from a pair of talented juniors.  Junior LHP Tyler Martin (Nebraksa) is among the area's best left-handed arms and will be counted on to lead the team on the mound.  Junior SS Will Larson is coming off a strong summer and will have a major impact in the line up with lefty bat.  Larson can also flash the leather and lead the Cardinals defensively at shortstop.  Expect Webb City to make a run this May with the talent and depth on the roster.
