2024 OUTLOOK

”The Wildcats will be led by Danny Lachenmayer in 2024. The returning lefty (Sr.) for the Wildcats will have a great supporting cast of young athletes in the junior and sophomore class. They return 3-4 players that have seen time on the varsity squad since 8th or 9th grade; Brody Illa (10th grade/Pitcher), Brandon Lunenburg (10th Grade/2nd year behind the plate), and Tate Gage (11th grade/Outfield). We will also see support from two college commits; Ryan Eckerle (IF) and Joe Anderson (OF).” - Steve Butler, Head Coach
