WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The defending conference champions will be challenged with only 3 returners in the lineup. Talent at the top of the batting order will keep them in any game while depth and youth in the lineup matures.
From the Coach, Expected Team Strength
The top of our lineup with Bowen Powell, Parker Lakey, and Caden Haywood.
THOUGHTS ON THE CONFERENCE:
Our conference is always competitive. This year is no different. Anyone can beat anyone, any given night. We will be young, but our kids want to continue to build the program in the right direction. We will be ready to compete.
