WHAT TO WATCH FOR:

Expectations for Team - A youth movement is underway for the Eagles, which will come with ups and downs. As they continue to mature, confidence and grit will continue to come and grow. Expected Team Strength -  Hard question to answer... This team will be very young, up to 6 Sophmores in starting lineup... Youth will be our strength... in 2024 in the Southwestern 4A Conference Tournament, we went with a movement toward the younger players and beat the 5-seed Independence  and 1-Seed Butler... when playing Providence in the Championship 5 of the 6 innings were pitched by freshman and 6 freshman were in the line up when we rallied in the top of the 6th only to come up 1 run short...  This group will play hard and compete until the final out is made!        

THOUGHTS ON THE CONFERENCE:

Providence - perenial powerhouse
Butler - have to replace many key pieces, but the talent is there
Charlotte Catholic - new Coach, new Attidtude, will compete for top spot
