Class: 4A
2016 Record: 30-5
Conference (2016 Record): Hoosier Crossroads Conference - 15-3 - T-1st

Outlook: The Eagles come off a record setting season finishing 30-5, falling 3-2 in the State championship game to Roncalli. The Eagles graduated 13 seniors, including all but 10 varsity innings on the mound. Senior Max Bohrer (DePauw) will lead them on the mound this spring after posting a 0.00ERA through 9.2IP. Chad Garisek (IU-Kokomo), Riley Bertram (Michigan), Michael Rocco (Ohio Northern), Sam Edgell, and Stephen Karis all have varsity experience. This team is not shy on talent replacing those that graduated. The junior class is very strong, but will need to mature throughout the season as they get games under their belts. The pitching staff will be hard to replace after posting a 1.37 Team ERA and 292K last year, but they will compete and get outs in a loaded Hoosier Crossroads Conference.
