As we prepare for our 2014 high school preseason coverage, we are going to take a quick glance at teams from across the state.

2013 Conference Record: 5-7

OUTLOOK:  

The 2013 season forced several young players to step into starting roles for the Redskins. But, with eight returning starters, Coach Wheeldin believes his squad has the pieces to compete for a conference championship. Sophomore Jaden Bordner, who stepped in as the catcher last season, returns behind the plate while fellow sophomore Caleb Heller returns at shortstop. Junior Kyler McElfresh figures to help at the top of the rotation after a strong summer going 7-2 with the Beverly-Lowell Legion team. Junior Mason Janusik's bat will be a key to the offense's success.
