As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.
Team: Heritage (Leesburg)
Nickname: Pride
Class/Division: 4A North
District/Conference: 21/Dulles District
Head Coach: Ryan Price
Twitter Handle: @pridehardball
2014 Overall Record: 13-7

TOP RETURNERS (Commit)
Jack Howard, SS, 2015 (Roanoke College)
Ben Taylor, CF, 2015
Chad Koehler, C, 2016
Ryan Studebaker, RHP, 2016
Carsten Wahl, OF, 2016
Cameron Taylor, RHP, 2017
Other Players of Interest for the Pride: Matt Baer (RHP, 2015) and Patrick Tyree (INF, 2017)
Outlook:
Heritage (Leesburg) is coming off of a solid 2014 season that saw them fall short of making the 4A North playoffs. The 2015 Pride look to be solid again as they bring back the majority of their lineup and a good portion of their pitching staff. The lineup will be led by Jack Howard (MIF, 2015), Ben Taylor (OF, 2015), Chad Koehler (C, 2016), and Carsten Wahl (OF, 2016). The rotation will be led by Ryan Studebaker (RHP, 2016) and Cameron Taylor (RHP, 2017). The Pride will have strong starting pitching this spring and will have a very good defense up the middle. If the new faces on the corners can grow up quickly, Heritage will be a contender in Conference 21 and could be dangerous in the 4A North playoffs.
