2022 OUTLOOK:
“We return some accomplished offensive and defensive players at the top of our lineup that also represent the core leadership in our program...some very passionate baseball dudes. I believe we have some reserves from last year, as well as some new comers, that will take another step and compete to fill out our lineup. One key will be the progress of our pitching staff as we don't return a significant amount of varsity innings from last year (aside from Blake Timmons (our #1) and senior Parker Pentico), but our guys have worked extremely hard in the preseason and we're optimistic about their growth. Our goal is to play at Duane Banks Stadium in mid/late July and compete for the State Championship. If we continue to commit ourselves to improving each week, I believe we'll be in the mix come July.” Head Coach Keith McSweeney
