#4 Glenelg Gladiators

Coach Steve Tiffany had a Glenelg team that "bought in" a year ago, leading to an impressive run to the 2A State Championship, eventually knocking off perennial powerhouse Patuxent to capture the crown. This year's team returns a slew of impact players from that State Championship team, and are poised to make another deep run in 2023. 

The talent on both sides of the ball is rich and deep, led by Senior righties Landon Castor (High Point) and Jackson Kelley, with a strong one-two punch on the backend in Zach LaFountain and Nick Duvall. Keep eyes on an intriguing Sophomore in Nicholas Bilotto to provide Coach Tiffany not only key innings on the bump, but also provide some depth on the offensive side as well. 

At the dish, the Gladiators are experienced with Senior leaders throughout with the likes of Castor, Alfonse Dello Russo (Saint Vincent), Duvall, Ben Pearcy and DJ Stolba (McDaniel). Junior Logan Pusheck is a high contact, speedy infielder who impacts the game on both sides of the ball, proving a spark throughout the lineup.
