2016 Spring Team Preview: Nordonia Knights

Team Name: Nordonia Knights
Head Coach: Drew Hoisington
Division: I
2015 Record: 18-11
Conference Record: Suburban (National), 9-5
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/3

2016 Team Strengths:

  • Starting pitching
  • Defense
  • Base running

2016 Team Weaknesses:

  • Power hitting
  • Scoring runs

Coach Outlook: We have love 27 seniors in the last three seasons and are moving into an updated league with Brecksville, Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Twinsburg, Hudson, and North Royalton. I would have to say that this league may be one of the best, if not the best, in northeast Ohio. Our team will be on the younger side, but the talent we have coming back and the mix of new faces, I feel we will make it hard for the teams we play on a day-to-day basis.
