OUTLOOK:
Springboro played well in conference in 2013, but lost lots of starters from that squad. One of the bright spots may be the outfield, which boasts three seniors, including two players who will be playing division-1 baseball next season. Springboro has many players with little to no experience and it could be a struggle this season as they rebuild.
