2022 OUTLOOK:
I think our schedule is one of the toughest in the state which will prepare us for the postseason. We will be tested early and often with a good core of seniors to lead us in the right direction. With that being said, there will be many new faces that will get significant innings this year especially on the mound. Our pitching staff is deep, but untested. We will be focusing on process over outcome throughout the season and taking each pitch, at bat, inning and game one at a time. We are looking forward to making some lasting memories for the 2022 Rams baseball team!” Head Coach Scot Surprenant
