Team: Campbell County
District:
37th
Region:
10th
Head Coach: Scott Schweitzer
2013 Overall Record: 19-17
2013 Region Record: 11-2

TOP PLAYERS (2013 Stats in parenthesis)

Cameron Edwards, LHP/OF, 2015 (.345, 5 2B's)
Johnny Elbin, 1B/3B/RHP, 2015 (.301, 6 2B's, 1 3B, 1 HR, 21 RBI, 1-0, 2.63 ERA)
Kyle Becker, RHP, 2015
Joe Kremer, 3B/C, 2014 (.330)
Robert Metz, C, 2015
Dawson Hogan, IF, 2016
Avery Wood, OF, 2014 (.315, 20 RBI)

YOUNG UP AND COMERS

Connor Walsh, IF/RHP, 2016
Eric Bingham, OF, 2016
Matthew Reynolds, C, 2017


OUTLOOK:

The Camels return 7 starters from last year's squad that won the 37th District Championship and advanced all the way to the 10th Region Finals before losing a 1-0 contest to Harrison County.  Cameron Edwards, Johnny Elbin, Joe Kremer, and Avery Wood are the top returning offensive threats.  The Camels lost a lot of pitching from last year's team and will have big holes to replace with the graduation of Tyler Walsh (Kentucky Wesleyan) and Rob Franzen (Georgetown).  Look for the pitching staff to be lead by Edwards and Kyle Becker.  If Coach Schweitzer's young arms can develop on the mound, the Camels have a chance to make another run in the 37th District and 10th Region.
