What to Watch For:
Losing 7 players from the lineup is tough to recover from in any year, but Coach Brown is excited about the youth in play for the Spiders. They should create some runs on the base paths this year, as their overall team speed should apply some pressure on opponents. Pitching is a key for everyone, but could be the difference as Concord looks to return to the post-season.
