SEASON OUTLOOK
Head Coach Casey Bryant, "We have a strong senior class that experienced a lot of adversity in the 2014 season. They had many good players injured/missing at the beginning of last season and played #1 ranked teams in 2A,3A, and 4A early in the season. They are battle tested and showed a lot of improvement at the end of last season. Our younger guys are talented and will push our seniors hard to compete. We should be very deep and if our pitching continues to develop we could have a special season."
