ACCORDING TO THE COACH:

"The 2016 version of the Chapmanville Tigers should be another good team. We return a number of letterman, with the strength being hitting. We should hit throughout the lineup, and have a pretty good top three in the rotation. We lost some really good arms, but will have to build through young pitching. By tournament time, we feel like we should be able to compete with anyone."
