2021 OUTLOOK:
“Wapsie Valley returns 8 starters and a very solid pitching staff. With a tough non conference schedule and playing in a grueling NICL east conference, Wapsie Valley Baseball is ready to make a trip to State. Wapsie Valley will lean on a great senior class of leaders to make their run.” Head Coach Tom Joecken
