2024 OUTLOOK

”We are hoping to 3 peat as conference champs this year and make a strong run in the section 5AA tournament. We feel our strength will be pitching. We have many spots to fill with 9 seniors graduating last year but are hopeful by the end of the year to be playing very good baseball.” - Jon Wroge, Head Coach
