2025 Spring Team Preview: Canal Fulton Northwest Indians

Team Name: Canal Fulton Northwest Indians
Head Coach: Donnie Macko
Division: IV
2024 Record: 6-16
2024 Tourney Finish: Sectional Finals loss to Kenston
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8/4

Coach Outlook: "We return a really close knit and older team with 8 seniors and multiple juniors that played varsity last year. This group learned a lost of lessons at the varsity level with 14 of our 16 losses being by 2 or less runs and playing 5 extra inning games. We will have a lot more depth than years past and we are excited to have a group of kids who love to compete each day."
