The Kansas high school season is nearing quickly, and we're here to cover it. Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2023 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into a countdown through the official PBR Kansas Preseason Power 20 Rankings.

We’ve submitted a Preseason Questionnaire to high school head coaches across the entire state. Their responses have been flooding in and we’re using the detailed insight they’ve provided in our team-by-team preseason analysis.

 

Team: Hugoton Eagles
League: GWAC
2022 Record: 6-15 Lost in in Regions
Classification: 4A
Head Coach: Tanner Rindels
Years at the Helm: 4

OUTLOOK

The Eagles will lean on their pitching in 2023. They will have a deeper staff than any time in recent history. They will also be experienced, returning seven starters from their previous campaign. The playoffs will be the main concern for the Eagles this year as they make the jump from 3A to 4A. They play in a league of mostly 3A teams and will be seeing some of their best completion for the first time in the regionals.
