SEASON OUTLOOK
In 2015, Thomas Edison reached the Conference 13 Championship game before losing to eventual 5A State Runners-up Marshall. The Eagles advanced to the 5A North Regional Tournament where they were eliminated in the first round. The 2016 Eagles have been hit by graduation and bring back less than a handful of their starting position players and just two pitchers. Thomas Edison will need great leadership from its seniors this spring and for its talented, but inexperienced, young players to step up and contribute for the Eagles to return to the 5A North Regional this spring.
