2024 Spring Team Preview: Schoolcraft Eagles

Team Name: Schoolcraft Eagles
Head Coach: Scott Muffley
Division: 3

Coach Outlook: "We only lost 2 seniors last year with a team that should have been in contention last year. This year we have some strong arms back, with experience at the plate. We also have a lot of speed on the basis to take advantage of any errors on the opponenets part. We are really looking forward to see what these guys can accomplish. We also have a strong incoming 9th grade class to build for the future as well."
