With the 2017 spring season right around the corner, PBR North Carolina is anticipating a great spring.  This is the first year of coverage for PBR during the high school season.  In the coming weeks and months, PBR will report on games, players, conference races and the state tournament.  It is the aim of PBR North Carolina to become your #1 source for high school baseball.

PBR worked to reach out to every team in the state.  A full team preview will be released on every team that filled out the preseason questionnaire sent by PBR.  If you are a coach and haven't filled out your 2017 Team Preview – CLICK HERE

What to Watch For:

Youth creates excitement but youth brings questions.  As Coach Wall prepares for 2017, he will be counting on Job Wease to follow up a good campaign in 2016 on the bump.  Losing starters at catcher, shortstop, third, and center field create some questions, but the Trojans have talent to shift and fill the spots.  The offense will need to compete to produce enough runs to allow for the young guys to gain experience in the tough South Mountain Athletic Conference.
