NOTABLE LOSSES

Josh Exton, 3rd team all state in 2014... Was winning pitcher in 5 consecutive post season games last year...district final, all 3 games of region, and first round of state...pitching at Spalding University

SS Justin Stinson...was 3 year starter at either 2nd or SS.. All district, all region honorable mention...playing at Kentucky State university...

According to the Coach

The 2015 Eagles strengths will include returning 6 of 8 position players from a team that won 30 games and made a state semi final...so many players have been involved in a number of big games...strengths will be in pitching and catching (3 year starter returning behind the plate) and returning the 3, 4, and 5 hitters from last years team in Logan Wyatt, Jacob Kelly, and Chance Egnor.....weaknesses will include little to no varsity experience returning at shortstop and one outfield position....we won't have quite the depth in pitching from a year ago but believe the new additions to the staff (junior Ryan Henson and freshman lefty Alec Lush) will prove to be nice additions and the Eagles expect to contend for the district and region tourneys again
