GHSA Team Preview: Westover
February 6, 2019
The Georgia High School Association has announced that opening day of the 2019 season will commence on Feb. 11. Programs were allowed to begin practicing in an official capacity on Jan. 14, meaning it's time for the PBR Georgia staff to break down the high school baseball scene in the state in the countdown to the first pitch thrown in 2019.
Our staff sent out a preseason questionnaire to the head coaches across the state. Leading up to opening day, we'll be publishing their responses. Eventually, these team previews will bring us to our Preseason Power 25 ranking, a list of the top-25 programs in the state, updated each week.
Until then, with the help of the submitted questionnaires and our staff's research, we'll be providing you a snapshot of the prep baseball scene in Georgia. We're publishing region-by-region breakdowns along the way on the site, but allow these team preview posts to provide for you a more detailed look at the program, with some first-hand insight from the head coach, too.
Stay in tune with the GHSA season by following us on Twitter @PBRGeorgia and on our home page.

SEASON SNAPSHOT
Coach Jordan Cambron comes into 2019 with a strong score of young talent. Returning pitcher, the only returnee, Kedarrius Cunningham will have to do much of the heavy lifting on the mound this year. Coach Cambron is confident he is up for the challenge though. Junior La'Borris Buchanan returns after receiving All Region and All-State GA Dugout Club honors. Over his career Buchanan has hit .309 and stolen a whopping 42 bases. INF Cameron Hopkins is back and ready to make an impact after a successful year in football where he earned 1st Team All Region as QB.
