2021 OUTLOOK:
“I would say a strength is returning 6 everyday starters from a 2A Semi-Finalist last season. That experience should help us a lot this year, but we lost some very good seniors that did an awful lot for us last summer. A big concern for us will be developing depth in our pitching staff this summer. We’ve been very fortunate for the past few seasons to have a strong and deep pitching rotation that has carried us. We have a lot of holes to fill but a lot of young talent, especially in our 8th grade class, that can hopefully do just that.” Head Coach
