2024 OUTLOOK

"I expect us to be towards the top of our conference again competing for another conference title this season. We returned all but 1 starter from last year's team, so we should be very strong and capable of making a deep post season run. Pitching once again will be our strength but our hitters should be able to provide us run support each time we take the field. The key to being successful this season will be keeping the game simple, controlling what we can control, and having fun." - Cody Hallahan, Head Coach
