2016 OUTLOOK
"We always have high aspirations at Coon Rapids for the baseball team. This year will depend on how our returning 3 pitchers perform. We don't have an experienced catcher, but do have 2 capable ones waiting to take over. We do have a few starters back but need the injured one's to have a rebound year. We would like to think we will be in the chase for a conference and section title." Head Coach Jerry Coe
