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

Coach Ellis graduated seven seniors from a state playoff team in 2016.  Returning three starters from the lineup, look for the Tigers to be fairly athletic and have the ability to create some runs on the base-paths.  South View should continue to get better throughout the year as the team gains experience.
