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

Returning four starters from the 2016 lineup, there is depth and young talent on the field.  Speed should allow for the Wildcats to produce runs and play at a high level defensively.  The arms are a question mark, only because they have not been tested at the varsity level.  Coach James has taken similar question marks and turned them into deep runs in the post-season in years past.
