 2023 OUTLOOK:
"Team strength: It would have to be our numbers, we had 44 players out Grades 7-12 last spring. Our strength going into this spring is that we have 12 returning varsity players with 6 of those being starters. We return our entire infield which fielded at a .940 fielding percentage which allowed us to get to the Section 7A finals only to fall to South Ridge 3-2. Defensive should be our strength this season, we will be young once again with 10 underclassman in the mix for playing time. With all the returning experience our expectations are very high going into this spring. "
Frank Ivancich, Ely Memorial Head Coach
