What to Watch For:
Lots of Varsity experience for Coach Harper as the youth movement could pay off in 2017. Defensively the Bison will look to help an improving pitching staff. If the infield can pick it up and play catch, the pitchers development will happen quicker. Several cogs back from an offense that expects to score runs.
