New Episode LIVE now! - At The Yard Podcast

COVID ended the 2020 season early throughout the State but as things progress quickly for the 2021 high school season, it’s time for us to preview teams from around the State in the Yearly Preseason Preview. Schedules are being adapted to fit the ever-changing landscape and though this season may look different than history has shown us, coaches/staff, players, families, and our team are preparing for 2021 to be as successful as possible. 

We’ve submitted the Preseason Questionnaire to high school head coaches across the entire state and their responses have been flooding in. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be using their detailed insight on our team-by-team previews ahead of the 2021 season leading into the California Power 25 Rankings.

SEASON OUTLOOK: 

Coach Furnald is confident that 2021 will be another positive year for the Eagles expecting his young team to be atop the Baseline this year. The team has 5 college commits on the roster and that experience in the lineup looks to be a major strength for Etiwanda this season. They’ll be asked to score runs in bunches to help support a young pitching staff. While that youth on the hill is talented, it’s also an inexperienced group looking for a big jump in the season against some of the Southern Section’s top competition. Coach Furnald will ride his experienced talent in 2021 and looks ready for a big season.
