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

A playoff appearance in 2016, with six starters returning from that team, and Coach Lewis has a right to be optimistic entering 2017.  The offense may need to carry the Dark Horses early as the pitching staff continues to develop.  Only two arms return with any varsity experience.  If a couple of arms step up, Clinton will compete at the top of the Four County Conference.
