Team Preview

 

Terry Sanford

Coach                                      Sam Guy

Classification                          3A

Conference Name                   Cape Fear Valley

 

2016 Stats

2017 Outlook

What to Watch for

All nine starters return from a team that made an appearance in the post-season last year.  Couple that with five arms with varsity experience and the bar is extremely high for Coach Guy and the Bulldogs.  Pitching and defense will be the foundation of success in 2017.  The offense should be able to create some runs on the base-paths.  If they continue to develop a few hitters, the Bulldogs will be dangerous in May.
