As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.
Team: North Cross School
Nickname: Raiders
Class/Division: Division III
District/Conference: Virginia Independent Conference
Head Coach: Eric Lawrence
Twitter Handle: N/A
2014 Overall Record: 13-8
2014 Post-Season Finish: Lost in VISAA State Semi-finals

Number of Returning Starters/Pitchers: 3
TOP RETURNERS (Commit)
Ben Coleman, INF, 2015 (Virginia State)
Edwin Saunders, 3B/SS/RHP, 2015
Josh Greenway, OF, 2016
Justin Jensen, SS/RHP, 2016
Tanner Smith, P/1B, 2017
Outlook:
The North Cross School is coming off of a strong 2014 season that saw them go on a deep run to the VISAA State Semi-Finals. In 2015, the Raiders should again have a good squad, as they return most of their starting line-up. The offense will be led by Justin Jensen (MIF/RHP, 2016), Ben Coleman (IF, 2015), Josh Greenway (OF, 2016), and Tanner Smith (RHP/1B, 2017). The rotation will be led by Smith, Jensen, and Edwin Saunders (IF/RHP, 2015). The Raiders will be strong offensively and defensively, if their pitching is up to the task, they should be competitive this year in the Virginia Independent Conference.
