2024 OUTLOOK

”In 2023 most games we started four or five sophomores, two or three juniors and one freshman - while winning only twice and no conference wins. Our team improved and we competed in most games throughout the season. This included two extra inning losses to Top 10 teams in the state at the time (Suburban East opponents) and a narrow loss in sections to close out the season. Our baseball program and our returning Varsity players are built around student-athletes of great character and excellent work ethic. The future is bright and the path ahead full of challenges playing in the top conference in the state of Minnesota.” - Jason Foss, Head Coach
