Notable Losses

2B Jameson VanMeter 2014 All-District, 2013 All-Region

According to the Coach

We lost 3 Seniors from last yrs. team.  We return most of our pitching. Sr. Wyatt Skaggs 10-1 .081 ERA 76 innings pitched 101 K's, Sr. Zach Roberson 4-4 2.31 ERA , Jr. Gage Akridge 9 saves 8 earned runs over 34 innings pitched 47 K's.  We have 6 position starters returning.  We have won 7 consectutive District Tournaments, won 56 District games in a row. With 10 Seniors and lots of tournament experience we expect to compete for championships.  The 3 seniors we lost last year were all up the middle SS, 2B, and CF so repalcing those three will be key for us, however we feel confident we have physical talent to over come those losses.  The ultimate unanswered question is will we have the mental toughness to replace those key players
