2015 OUTLOOK
Coming off a 19-4 record in 2014; 9th year Head Coach Shad Schmidt has these thoughts about his team "This season is going to be different as we gradated four 4 year starters that were talented. We will need to find a new #1 and #2 pitcher and will have some new kids playing some new spots. I feel like we are re-building a little bit." The Silver Streaks do bring back quality experience and success breeds success. Osakis will fight to duplicate their record from 2014.
