Class: 4A
2016 Record: 12-14
Conference (2016 Record): MIC 5-11
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/5
2017 Team Strengths:
- Starting Pitching

Top Returning Players:
- Zyon Avery, C, 2018 (right)

- Logan Butrum, RHP/OF, 2017

Outlook: Coach Bear leads the Giants into 2017 with his two top bats returning to the lineup in Zyon Avery (Ohio commit) and Isaiah Davis (Vincennes commit). Davis should also be the ace of the Giants' experienced staff which has five of their top arms back from last season. The pitching staff will be key to the Giants success come conference play. Coach Bear will have to deal with a competitive schedule in the MIC including Top 25 teams Carmel and Center Grove.
