TOP PLAYERS

Derek Drewes (6-0, 180, L-R), SS, 2014 ... One of the top uncommitted players in 2014 class. Smooth left-handed swing. Four year starter, all-state in football, two time all state in basketball. Here is a Q & A with Drewes.
Reid Renollet (6-0, 175, L-L), LHP/CF, 2014 ... One of the top uncommitted two-way players in 2014 class. Here is a Q&A with Renollet.
Clay Pittman (6-0, 180, R-R), C, 2014 ... Committed to San Jacinto JUCO (Houston, TX).
EJ Kissel (5-11, 170, R-R), 2B/C/RHP, 2015 ... Leadoff hitter last season. Quick hands both offensively and defensively. Will possibly be seen at the Top Prospect Games.
Brevin Renollet (6-3, 180, R-R), RHP/3B, 2016 ... Started as a freshman last season. One to watch down to road as he develops.
Dakota Stark (6-0, 180, R-R), Utility, 2016 ... Started as a freshman last season.

YOUNG UP AND COMERS

EJ Kissel (5-11, 170, R-R), 2B/C, 2015.
Brevin Renollet (6-3, 180, R-R), RHP/3B, 2016.

OUTLOOK:  

Coach Renollet and the Rams have reached Columbus three seasons in a row (D-III in 2011, D-IV in 2012-13), and nothing short of a state title is in the eye of everyone in Tinora. Will the fourth time be the charm? The Rams have a trio of seniors in Drewes, R. Renollet and Pittman poised for big seasons. If the Rams can stay healthy (which was a huge problem last season in the tournament) Columbus looks to be where Tinora might finish their season. Tinora boasts four pitchers sitting low-to-mid 80s, which for Division IV puts them in a position to make a long run.
