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.

What to Watch For

At first look, Coach Ridenhour is losing a lot from the 2016 team.  But after looking deeper the Tigers are returning a good top of the rotation and the top of the lineup from a 3^rd round appearance in 2016.  There are several  positions still  under competition as the lineup looks to become deeper.  The Tigers will be in the mix again if they can string enough quality at-bats throughout each game.
