2024 OUTLOOK

”Outlook for 2024 season: As with every year we are very optimistic, our seven returning players must take another step up for us to be successful. Our middle infield play is our strength going into the spring, along with returning two of our top three pitchers. We have plenty of numbers & guys will get plenty of opportunities to play. As I have told them we will always get our opponents best so we must work hard & be ready to play every game; we take that as a complement & as respect other teams have for us. Season goals: As with every season we expect to be in the mix for another Section 7A title. Placing 2nd & 3rd the past two seasons in the Section 7A tournament, our goal it to get better with every week & put ourselves in a situation to make a run for another state tournament appearance [2012, 2014, 2016, 2017].” - Frank Ivancich, Head Coach
