OUTLOOK:  

The Dragons return 6 starters from last season's 18th District Championship team but gone is the ace of that pitching staff, Brennen Milby, who is now pitching at Ohio State University.  This year's pitching staff will be led by a pair of juniors in Colton Bush and Levi Murphy.  Both Bush and Murphy will also contribute significantly to the offense as they hit .385 and .350 respectively last season.  The rest of the lineup includes senior catcher Zack Bale (.350 in 2013), senior 3rd baseman Drew Nunn (.325 in 2013), and senior OF Toby Estes (.360 in 2013) who possesses good speed on the bases.  Despite the loss of Milby, the Dragons should be competitive in the 5th Region this year while also competing for the All 'A' State Championship.
