OUTLOOK

Coach Russo: "We have guys with a lot of experience coming back that were starters from the last 2 years and some guys coming back that have played as freshman and sophomores. Pitching is one of our strong points and adding Dominic Woodward gives us another big arm on the mound. Adding a guy like Cal Johnson and Dominic Woodward to a line-up with guys that have proven themselves at the plate like Hershey Sanchez and Ethan Frame. The line-up is something special. There are some key Juniors that are going to help make a push this year Carson Arnold and Jose Carrero. And even younger guys like Cole Bitman that started every game as a freshman. This team has a lot of depth that comes with experience. Tampa Catholic is not only a state contender but becoming a team people are looking at state wide.”
