2024 SEASON OUTLOOK

No. of Returning Starters:

9

Top Returning Players:

Eli Montee - SS/P, Jr

Dylan Kirkpatrick - C, Jr

Coach’s Insight:

“We didn’t lose any starters from last year and the year before that we only lost 2. Towards the end of last season everyone bought into our plan and we finished our last 11 games 6-5. We have a lot of average type varsity pitchers to get us through the year and a couple who are on the verge of being above average. Our outfield defensively was one of the best in 2-1A. Only a few of our kids played any type of summer ball. We still need a couple kids to lock down the middle of our infield defense. ” – Broc Mattox , head coach
