Wesleyan Christian |
|
State Runner Up in the NCISSA 4A in 2019 | New coach in 2020 but the roster is loaded with high end talent | Depth on the mound should get WCA off to a quick start. |
|
|
14 |
Fike |
|
A club that was somewhat quiet in 2019, just kept winning, piling up 22 wins. The roster returns some depth with an intriguing 1-2 punch on the mound. SR Chad Bean is fun to watch when he has the ball |
|
|

|
Regional Final and 21 wins in 2019 | The Hawks are not looking to rebuild, but reload | There is not as much depth on the mound as in 2019, but there is plenty and the offense could be very explosive at times |

Fuquay-Varina |
|
2018 saw a state championship... 2019 was a bit of a different story for the Bengal Tigers | Arms will lead the resurgance in 2020 with as many as 5 potential high end arms on the staff | This group should grow offensively throughout the year. |
|
|

Alexander Central |
|
24 wins and a 4th round appearance in 2019 sets the stage for 2020 | Bryson Hammer continues to mature on the mound and the stuff is for real -- he should set the tone |

Christ School |
|
Talent floods the lineup led by Isaiah Lowe, Andrew Grande, and Michael Posse | On the mound Posse will team with Lowe and Parker Johnson | |
|
|
19 |
Davie |
|
Davie returns most of its lineup and 5 arms with experience. They may miss an ace with pure swing and miss stuff, but this is an older club that should play defense at a high level and encourage the arms to pound the zone | Offensively, they will be tough outs 1 - 9. |

Rosewood |
|
2019 saw 23 wins, an undefeated run in the conference, and a State Runner-Up at the NCHSAA 1A level | Coach King did not have a SR on the roster in 2019 - returning a lot of experience and a club that knows how to get through the post-season | Tanner Capps & Will Harris could be primed for big seasons. |
