What to Watch For
A talented group that includes three that played for the National Championship with the Rowan County Legion team, sets to defend their South Piedmont championship from 2016. Coach Graham has depth on the bump, returning four arms from last year and adding some young talent. The Falcons will need to swing the bats to create runs… if the offense is strong, the Falcons could make a deep run in May.
