With the 2017 spring season right around the corner, PBR North Carolina is anticipating a great spring.  This is the first year of coverage for PBR during the high school season.  In the coming weeks and months, PBR will report on games, players, conference races and the state tournament.  It is the aim of PBR North Carolina to become your #1 source for high school baseball.

PBR worked to reach out to every team in the state.  A full team preview will be released on every team that filled out the preseason questionnaire sent by PBR.  If you are a coach and haven't filled out your 2017 Team Preview – CLICK HERE

What to Watch For

With 8 starters and the entire pitching staff returning, look for Coach Gross’ team to make a push again this year.  Experience should allow for a quick start to the year.  The ability to throw strikes and create quick runs           will allow the Rams to create some separation.  The ability to play well in tight games could be a difference maker in 2017.
