2016 Spring Team Preview: Kenton Wildcats

Team Name: Kenton Wildcats
Head Coach: Matt Dudek, 12-14
Division: II
2015 Record: 12-14
Conference Record: Western Buckeye League, 1-8
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 3/1

2016 Team Strengths:

• Work Ethic

2016 Team Weaknesses:

• Experience

Coach Outlook: "Lost a large group of seniors, so we'll be a young team with potential that may take a little time to grow."

PBR Outlook: The Wildcats and coach Dudek return just three starters, so youth will be looked upon if Kenton looks to do anything in the difficult Western Buckeye League.
