WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Cougars could be a very deep and dangerous lineup. Some of the younger players that got a lot of at bats in 2023 will be expected to take a step forward, but their talent level suggests that is just the next step.

From the Coach - Expected Team Strength
We are excited to bring back the core of our offense. Excited to bring back majority of offensive lineup including Adrian Gonzalez, Jay Hale, Will Newton, Chase Klingemann and Drew Berenyi.

THOUGHTS ON THE CONFERENCE:
The SWAC has a strong standing in NC High School baseball. Expecting a SWAC team to make a deep run in playoffs this year.
