2024 OUTLOOK
”We expect to be competitive this year. We bring back a number of key contributors from an offense that set a school record for runs scored. We have to replace some pitching but we have a number of arms to choose from. We've also gotten more athletic. Program numbers are very good so I expect healthy competition for playing time at all positions. The goal at St. Francis doesn't change. We expect to be a team that is capable of contending for a section championship in June.” - Luke Scardigli, Head Coach
