OK Spring Preview: McLoud Redskins

The Oklahoma high school baseball season kicks off on March 2nd, opening day for regular season action under Ossaa regulations. Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2020 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into a countdown through the official PBR Oklahoma Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

OUTLOOK

Coach Ray believes this has been a very hardworking group. They are very young, but Their mission this year is to build a legacy. They will win games this year at times based off of how hard they compete. 

They only have one senior this year on the roster so they will lack varsity experience. It’s always good to have a strong senior class for a number of reasons, but a lot of their younger guys have done a great job of being leaders.
