OUTLOOK:  

In his short time as head coach of Grove City High School, Coach Alexander has quickly put the Greyhound program on the map as one of the top in the area and state. This year's schedule will put his squad to the test with tough conference games as well as non-conference games against some of the state's top programs, including Moeller, the defending DI state champion. While Coach Alexander will be filling many holes in his lineup, he has experience in his senior class, who have been apart of 70 wins the past three seasons. Senior Ben Myers, who earned second team all-state honors last year, will be a key component in the lineup while senior Josh Schaffer and junior Chase Antle will play important roles in the pitching rotation.
