2024 OUTLOOK

”We were built on pitching in 2023 and the offense needed time to catch up. This year that script might be flipped a little but we have guys chomping at the bit to fill the innings vacated by guys who graduated. We've got a really good mix of youth and senior leadership that we as a coaching staff are really excited to work with. Our goals haven't changed as we want to get an opportunity to be in the state tournament and compete for a championship. However, we know that we have to take the right steps to get there.” - Pete Andersen, Head Coach
