2024 OUTLOOK

”Returning 8 starters from 2023, combined with many, talented underclassmen pushing for playing time is a formula any program would love to have. If we can stay healthy and get consistent pitching, our strong hitting and defense should complete the formula for a successful 2024 campaign! Wins will not come easy in the extremely tough West Central Conference and in Section 3AA, we will have to best at our best game in and game out to achieve our team goals.” - Joe Alexander, Head Coach
