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

Coming off a school record 17 wins, the Vikings will look to replace five graduated seniors.  They are returning their MIF and CF from last year, creating some strength up the middle.  The arms will be young overall, but five return with experience, led by Layton Helms and Paul-Michael Charleville.
