2014 Outlook:
Cicero North Syracuse goes into the 2014 season with major holes to fill, losing 11 seniors from last year’s squad. They received a generous ranking by PBR New York, but have the talent to be a serious contender. Steven Theetge gives the team a chance to win every time the left-hander takes the mound.

“We have a lot of inexperienced players at the varsity level with big shoes to fill," Rockwell said. "We should be competitive if we throw strikes and can pick up the baseball on the defensive end.”
