2024 OUTLOOK

”We have a lot to build off of coming off a great run to the section finals in 2023. We return some good arms - a number of players gained valuable experience last season. A big question mark will be our ability to score runs. We need to improve in that area. The Granite Ridge Conference is tough and Section 7AA is tough (with returning state champion Esko). We are capable of competing to get to the 2nd week of the section tournament and be in the middle of the Granite Ridge Conference. We want to be at our best at the end of the season as we were last year.” - Jayson Pautzke, Head Coach
