As we enter February, the high school season is quickly approaching. As the month progresses and February turns into March, we will take a look at high school programs throughout our coverage area as they prepare for the 2016 season.
 

Team: Alliance Christian
Nickname: Falcons
Class: VISAA Division III
Conference: Metro
Coach: Chris O’Neal
2015 Record: 7-11
2015 Post Season: Conference Tournament
Returning Starters/Position: 3
Returning Pitchers: 3

 

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Braden Gilbert (RHP/SS, 2018) Gilbert is a smooth fielder with a good arm.
Gavin Kitchens (C, 2017) Kitchens is a power threat in the lineup and helps out the pitching staff with his receiving ability.
Victor Spence (MIF/C, 2017) Spence is a dynamic top of the order presence with a very good combination of power and speed.
Alex Williams (LHP/OF, 2016) Williams is coming off of a 2015 that saw him post a strikeout to walk ratio of 8 to 1. 

 

SEASON OUTLOOK
Alliance Christian is coming off of an up and down 2015 season that saw their season end in the Metro Conference Tournament. The 2016 Falcons should be improved with Williams anchoring the rotation and Gilbert helping out. Spence is a game changer at the top of the order. The Falcons should have a lot of speed and athleticism up and down the lineup as majority of the team plays basketball most of the year. Alliance Christian should take a step forward in 2016 and compete in the Metro Conference.
