OUTLOOK:  

With senior southpaw Zac Lowther on the mound, the Redskins should have the chance to beat anyone come playoff time. But, beyond the Xavier recruit, Cuyahoga Heights returns six starters from a rebuilding year in 2013. This year's squad returns experience up the middle (Denner and Orr) as well as behind the plate (Gallo). If the pitching holds up and the athletic lineup is able to manufacturer runs, Heights could be a difficult matchup come tournament time in Division IV play.
