2024 OUTLOOK

”We have high expectations for our team this year as we have a big class of senior leaders to guide us. We were hitting our stride at the end of the season last year, but then the injury bug halted our playoff success. We hope to get back to the level we have grown accustomed to with Hayfield baseball.” - Kasey Krekling, Head Coach
