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

Coach Repka likes the look of the Cougars as they enter 2017 returning 9 starters and 4 arms with varsity experience.  The defense should help the pitching staff gain some comfort as they will need to continue to throw more strikes.  Offensively, look for a big step forward from several players as they have another year of experience.
