2017 Spring Team Preview: Parkway Panthers

Team Name: Parkway
Head Coach: Luke Clouse
Division: IV
2016 Record: 12-10
Conference Record: MAC
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/3

2017 Team Strengths:

  • Pitching

2017 Team Weaknesses:

  • They are still looking to fill a couple of spots

Coach Outlook: "We have our core coming back this season. We did have a few key loses, but have some very talented young guys to fill in for them. After a successful summer, we are looking for great things this year."

PBR Outlook: The Parkway Panthers and head coach  Luke Clouse have high expectations in 2017 with the return of a core of their squad. Playing in the MAC will have Parkway competing against the best each night. Look for the Panthers to be playing their best ball come tournament time.
