2018 OUTLOOK:
“We graduated ten seniors that played a lot of games for us over the past few seasons. We will be young at a lot of spots, but very talented. These underclassmen have been waiting patiently for their time on varsity and they are excited to get their chance. We did graduate our ace from last season so we will need someone to step into that role, but we have multiple pitchers that can throw consistent strikes.”  Head Coach Kasey Krekling
