2018 OUTLOOK:
“Our expectations won't change a whole lot from the 2017 season. I expect this year's squad to be very competitive within the Central Minnesota Conference and Section 5AA, and I expect we'll be playing our best baseball come tournament time. Experience will be our biggest strength as we return several starters and two of our top three pitchers from a year ago. Keys to success will be staying healthy, getting consistent pitching performances, and playing sound defensively.” Head Coach Brooks Marquardt
