Head Coach: Andrew Mikesell
Division: II
2017 Record: 18-7
Conference Record: Western Buckeye League, 6-3 – 4th

2018 Team Strengths:
- Lack of Pressure
Coach Outlook: "Though we graduated a lot, we have a very talented group of juniors lead by our lone senior, Kole Murlin. Our guys have really put in the work to get themselves physically ready for the season. Despite our main focus to improve every day, I really feel like we will surprise a lot of people who feel we are in a rebuild mode."
PBR Outlook: Celina may have lost the one of the best players in the state in Seth Lonsway (Ohio State), but they will be competitive in 2018 with many talented players ready to have breakout seasons in 2018 including Kole Murlin, Reid Harter and Parker Maurer.
