TEAM PREVIEW

East Wake

Coach                                      Tony Piercy

Classification                          4A

Conference Name                   Greater Neuse

 

2016 Stats      

Record                                    13-12

Conference Finish                   2nd

State Playoffs                          2nd Round

 

2017 Outlook 

# of Returning Starters           7

# of Returning Pitchers           5

What to Watch For:

Coach Piercy and the Warriors return the top five hitters in their order and over 95% of their innings pitched from 2016.  Four college commits in the senior class should keep this group moving in the right direction.  The lineup may lack the quick strike ability and will have to show some feel for extending at-bats and executing the offense.
