The Wisconsin high school season kicks off on March 29, the first day for regular season games. Most teams will begin practicing on March 21, getting their rosters set and finalizing their lineups.

Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we will be rolling out team previews of high school teams all across the state and across all classifications, eventually launching our Preseason Power 25.

We have been sending out our annual Preseason Questionnaire to coaches all across the state and as the responses flood in we will bring you a snapshot of what to expect along with top players and keys to success for that particular team. If you don’t see your team’s season preview make sure your head coach fills out his Preseason Questionnaire.

Team: Lodi
Preseason Rank: 20
2015 Record: 19-5
Conference: Capitol North
WIAA Division: 2
Head Coach: Rodney Curtis
Playoff Run: Sectional Final
2015 Final Rank: Not Ranked 

TOP PLAYERS

 

STAT RAT
14-0: The combined record of top two returning arms Garrett McGraw and Garrett Schreiber. Both also posted sub 1.50 ERAs and will lead the staff again in 2016.

OUTLOOK
The Blue Devils return nearly all of their 2015 squad which went 19-5 last year and ot bounced in the Sectional Championship game by River Valley. Lodi should be a senior heavy squad with playoff experience poised to make a run. However, its not a slam dunk for the Blue Devils as one of their toughest hurdles may be in their own conference this year with Columbus nipping at their heels. Lodi has the luxury of pitching, offense and seniors to lead the 2016 team to what could be a banner year for Coach Curtis and his team.
