2023 OUTLOOK:
"We will be a much more experienced team this season, as we have a lot of players who played last year as Sophomores. We should be a team that pushes the tempo on offense and will play solid defense. We have a pitching staff that will pound the zone and give us chance to be in all of our games. We will look to climb up the Northwest Suburban Conference standings this year. "
Matt Mossey, Coon Rapids Head Coach
