Outlook: The Falcons bring back an experienced staff as all 23 wins return from last season.  Four of their top offensive players return as well.  The Falcons had a strong post-season run in 2017, losing to eventual state champion South Bend St. Joe in extra innings in the Regional Championship.  Coach Nadolny's group has the talent to make another deep post season run this spring. They are ranked No. 9 in the 3A Top 10 Preseason Rankings.
