2016 New Hampshire Spring Team Preview: Bedford HS

Team Name: Bedford High School (NH)
Head Coach: William Chapman
Division: 1
2015 Record: 15-7
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 4/2

Overall Thoughts: "After graduating 14 seniors from a State Runner-up team, the Bulldogs have many holes to fill. The talent from a combined (40-2) record from the freshman and junior varsity teams will supply plenty of talent to fill these open positions. Young competitive talent and raw athleticism should make the Bulldogs contenders come tournament time."
