2024 OUTLOOK

”Looking forward to this Spring with a good core of kids coming back. We will need some younger kids to step up and fill the holes left from last year's Seniors. We have a lot of experienced pitching coming back which is always good! Defense is always key and a thing we always stress. Making the routine plays. Our goal is always to be playing our best baseball come playoff time. If you can do that, you always give yourself a good chance to make a good run in the playoffs.” - Adam Gerads, Head Coach
