Coaches Comments Leading into the 2019 Season:
We return four key pitchers on the mound that logged 106 innings last spring and help set a school record for strikeouts in 2018. All four returners are playing college baseball next spring. We also return five position players that helped raise the team batting average 52 points from 2017 to 2018 and also set the school record for stolen bases in 2018. We have a talented group of seniors with experience along with a group of juniors that have Varsity and Junior Varsity experience. The kids have been working hard in the off season and are anxious to get the season started.- Head Coach Brian Disch
