2017 OUTLOOK
"As with most Class A schools we are in a rebuilding season. Losing our top pitcher along with 4 additional starters we will look to some 9th & 10th graders to step up this spring. We set our goal every year to make it to the state tournament & this upcoming is no different despite losing some key players to graduation. Pitching will be a key to our spring success and we do return three pitchers who combined for 12 wins last spring. We need to replace some key infield positions if we want to achieve our goal of making it back to state." Head Coach Frank Ivancich
