Heritage has come in 2nd place five straight years in the section, with four of those years being 1 run losses in the championship game. We have a solid core returning and feel we can play with just about any team in the state, especially with Seth on the mound. We hope to contend for a conference championship as well as the first state birth in our school's history.” Head Coach Jon Ledeboer
