2019 OUTLOOK:
The Nuggets will boast a strong returning core of seniors that should be in the mix in the Heart O'Lakes Conference. The HOL/Section 8AA is always laced with good teams, but if the Nuggets peak at the end, they'll have a shot at contending. The team should be deep in pitching and hitting. The key will be finding the best defensive alignment, having pitchers throw strikes consistently, and not beating ourselves....and, right now, MOTHER NATURE!!” Head Coach Beau Lofgren
