2023 OUTLOOK:
"I look for the 2023 Mustangs to make a jump to the upper half of a tough Granite Ridge Conference. I feel we can be a top 4 team in section 7AA as well. We've been young the last two seasons - not any longer - we return a lot of experience: our top pitchers are back and our top offensive players are back. We do need to improve offensively as that has been a weakness the last two years - we should be strong on the mound and better defensively behind our pitchers. Should be an exciting season!"
Jayson Pautzke, Mora Head Coach
