OUTLOOK

The Trojans bring 5 pitchers and 4 starters back in 2015 under Coach King.  New Castle joined the HHC this year and will contend with New Palestine, Yorktown, and Mt. Vernon.  Key players include Kenny Martin, Garrett Welch, Jared Heard, Caleb Matthews, Cayden Smekens, and Baze Conway.  Coach King expects to be competitive with this core group which includes several sophomores.  As they build experience, they should contend in the sectional and HHC.
