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

Princeton returns some experience from a 3^rd round appearance in the state playoffs.  This year the Bulldogs will lean on their arms and defense as they continue to work to develop the offense.  Solid up the middle with a couple of college commits, Coach Willoughby has seen this formula work in the past.
