Key Players Lost:

Coach’s Insight: “Choctaw will return several key players from the state tournament team and district champion that also had two other state tourney teams in district. We will remain a team that competes hard and plays fundamental baseball game after game. Pitching depth will be a key weakness as we look to new arms and role players to step in and fill needs. ” – Shane Hawk, head coach
