What to Watch For:

Youth creates excitement but youth brings questions.  As Coach Wall prepares for 2017, he will be counting on Job Wease to follow up a good campaign in 2016 on the bump.  Losing starters at catcher, shortstop, third, and center field create some questions, but the Trojans have talent to shift and fill the spots.  The offense will need to compete to produce enough runs to allow for the young guys to gain experience in the tough South Mountain Athletic Conference.
