YOUNG UP AND COMERS

Trevor Hoff, RHP, 2016.

OUTLOOK:  

Coach Schnieders will look to improve on a District championship and 19-13 a season ago. The T-Birds have a solid core of upper and lower classmen who look to provide leadership for LCC on and off the diamond. LCC ace, Colin Stolly is back and looks to be helped by some underclassmen who looked at to provide a spark. Ethan O'Connor, a 6-foot-2 sophomore RHP, will be looked at to take a leap forward in 2014.
