2017 TEAM PREVIEW: monroe central golden bears
Head Coach: Keith Nunley
Class: 2A
2016 Record: 15-11
Conference (2016 Record): Mid-Eastern Conference 5-2
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/4
2017 Team Strengths:
- Speed
- Athleticism

Outlook: Coach Nunley expects his Golden Bears to play at a higher level in 2017 with 7 returning starters. Monroe Central went 15-11 in 2016 but has the majority of the run production back in the lineup this spring. Led by Logan Conklin (Kentucky Weselyan), the experience and leadership should play a pivotal role in their success this season. Seth Wilson will continue to improve after a strong freshman campaign as he returns to starting SS.
