It's hard to believe but the start of the 2019 Maryland high school baseball season is almost here. Every week throughout the season we will release our Power 25, ranking the top twenty-five teams from across the Old Line State. Today we continue our Preseason Power 25 countdown by taking a look at our #5 team, the Huntingtown Hurricanes from Calvert County. Be sure to stay tuned as we release one team each weekday leading up to the release of our 2019 #1 Preseason Power 25 team on March 19th. Then, on March 20th our PBR Maryland staff will release our final preseason predictions for the upcoming 2019 season.

Season Snapshot

The three-time defending MPSSAA 3A South Region Champions look poised to make another run this year with 2018 All-Metro Honorable Mention team member Ryan Terrents (Towson), Coastal Carolina commit Clay Wargo, and Joe Mozingo (USC Aiken) leading the way. The Hurricanes will look to avenge their 3-2 State Championship loss to Thomas Johnson last season and climb back atop the mountaintop as they did once before in 2016. Joining Terrents as a key piece in the rotation will be senior Ethan Poore. Look for sophomore RHP Brian Ferreira to make an impact with the varsity this season as well after a strong off-season.  It's shaping up to be another exciting lineup in 2019 with Terrents, Wargo, Mozingo, senior Matt Pritchett, and junior Cy Harwood all returning. Look for junior Stafford Allison to also find a role in the offense this year.

Huntingtown will face some stiff competition in the SMAC again during the season which should help prepare them for a strong post-season run. A run through the 3A South figures to include big games against a strong Northern (Cal.) team, Chopticon, and Poly from Section I. 15th year head coach Guy Smith does an excellent job preparing his ball clubs every year so expect to hear much more about the Hurricanes as the season rolls on.
