Coach’s Insight:

“The strength of this team will be the experience they gained from a semi-final run last season in the state tourney. Returning 8 out of 10 starters and all of the pitching staff will enable our team to have the ability to overcome and have drive. We return our top 5 arms and all of them have next level ability and mentality. The biggest concern coming into the year is complacency and looking too far ahead. We must play each game one at a time.” – Chris Foor, head coach
