WHAT TO WATCH FOR:

Expectations for Team - The Jaguars return a core group of players that understand how to navigate the tough Cap 6 Conference. The ability to matchup with the high level No. 1’s in the conference could determine where Athens’ finishes in ‘24.

From the Coach - Expected Team Strength
We are excited about the amount of returning players and varsity experience on this team. With quality pitching depth and strong bats in the lineup, we are hopefully for another successful season.
