2024 OUTLOOK

”Looking to return to state 4-5 years and all have experienced a winning culture. Depth continues to be the number one strength. Depth in pitching and with our position players should help us to navigate a good schedule. Players play with high IQ and bring a work ethic with them everyday!” - BRIAN MITCHELL, Head Coach
