Outlook
This season will be an interesting one for the Eagles who hope to get a Shenandoah district title in 2018. With over half of their lineup returning, including Mack Rexrode (Averett) and Nick Jenkins, who should hold down the middle of the lineup. Also returning is SS Luke Myers who will hold down the middle infield and provide stability defensively for the Eagles. Jenkins and Rexrode also provide two way talent as both should see continued time on the mound and will continue their key roles on the team. Keep an eye out for 2019 RHP Dalton Jefferson a 6-foot-6 arm that missed majority of 2017 due to injury who could play a key role this season.
