Classification 4A
Conference Name Piedmont-Triad
2016 Stats
Record 7-18
Conference Finish 5th
2017 Outlook
# of Returning Starters 8
# of Returning Pitchers 6
What to Watch For:
Lots of Varsity experience for Coach Harper as the youth movement could pay off in 2017. Defensively the Bison will look to help an improving pitching staff. If the infield can pick it up and play catch, the pitchers development will happen quicker. Several cogs back from an offense that expects to score runs.
Players to Watch

Branden McMillian OF, 2018
Jalen Martin, OF, 2020
