2025 Spring Team Preview: Tuscarawas Valley Trojans

Team Name: Tuscarawas Valley Trojans
Head Coach: Chase Cooper
Division: V
2024 Record: 12-10
2024 Tourney Finish: District Semifinals loss to Sandy Valley
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/4

Coach Outlook: "Last season I felt like we took some strides as a team, winning only the 7th sectional championship in school history. While we are losing some key contributors from last season, I believe our staff has done a good job developing the players to fill those gaps, and our returning starters have worked hard to take another step. For the upcoming season we return a lot of key players especially in regards to our pitching staff. The IVC south though, is always a challenge. The teams in our league are always disciplined and well coached, but all of this helps to prepare us for the tournament."
