OUTLOOK
Coach Jones - "Arnold comes off their deepest playoff run in school history, one win short of Fort Myers. 4 Seniors return who have been starters since their Freshman year. Led by 2 SEC-level pitchers and some effective arms behind them, we feel we have a chance to compete against anyone in the State. The Senior class has one last chance to advance to the Final Four and compete for a State Championship. They will be counted on to help lead the squad which will also likely have 6 Sophomores who will need to play important roles in order for us to succeed. "
