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:

Coach Koppe has led a youth movement the last two years that may pay off big in 2017.  Quality arms, including 3 lefties, and solid defense should allow the Eagles to compete with the higher end of the Southwestern 4A.  The final step for this group that has played a bunch is learning to  finish games.
