What to Watch For

19 wins and a trip to the Quarterfinals of the state tournament have Spring Creek optimistic entering the 2017 season.  The Gators return five starters from last years club, but only one arm with any varsity experience.  The defense should be able to help develop the pitching staff.  The offense will look to execute and grind opponents throughout the year.
