2023 OUTLOOK:
"We have a senior heavy team this year, with high expectations. South Suburban Conference is a tough conference, we will need to be ready every night to compete and live up to those expectations. With 2 3rd year returning starters, and a promising left hander in Tate Marland, along with St. Cloud commit Cam Lyke, our pitching could be our strength. We'll need to hit better with men in scoring position to move from the middle of the pack in our conference. We got a great group of young men that I am excited to see compete this year."
Bill John, Lakeville South Head Coach
