Outlook: The Hawks return a strong group of four year starters in 2018; including pitching with experience in the Regional and Semi-State the last two seasons.  A lot of offensive power has graduated, but several proven hitters are back this spring.  Three players are back in the program after not playing last year, giving the Hawks more speed.  This year's team will be different than years past, but with the starting pitching back expect the Hawks to be as dangerous come tournament time as anyone in 2A.
