Season Outlook

Valle Catholic lost 10 seniors, including four of the top five arms from 2019, but they have a talented junior class ready step up.  The Warriors will look to senior Kyle Roth, a three-year starting catching to be strong asset in the middle of the order and lead the way behind the plate.  Although the Warriors lost a number of players, they could be more talented and athletic than a year ago.
