OUTLOOK:

Lindsay Lane Christian Academy enters the 2019 season with sights set on making the playoffs after finishing 3rd in their area in 2018. The Lions are in 1A Area 14 with Athens Bible, Falkville and Saint Bernard so that will be no easy task. Coach Charles Morrison knows that in order to make the playoffs in 2019 the Lions will need to find an everyday catcher and he is looking for more offensive production throughout the order. 2020 RHP/Utility player Charlie Morrison returns for the Lions after leading the team in hitting at .457 a year ago and also leading the team in strikeouts on the mound. He will be looked on to have another banner year. Camden Shields is a 2022 RHP/C that has a live fastball and can control his secondary stuff on the mound and also shows some juice at the plate. Junior Drew Turpin (2020) is a RHP/SS that has an electric arm and can really run and his swing was described as “explosive” by his coach. Brady Anderson (2020 C/OF) returns after hitting .394 in 2018 and shows a sweet swing from the left side with good speed. Luke Turpin is another 2022 RHP that shows plus command and does a nice job keeping hitters off balance. He was the Lions most consistent pitcher in 2018. Although still a very young team, the Lions hope to battle for a state playoff spot in 2019.
