What to Watch For

An experienced group returns for Coach Tate, fresh off an appearance in the state finals.  The Vikings will need to replace three infielders and their starting catcher from a year ago, but there is depth on the bump.  Expect to see South Granville make another run and be ready to take the next step again in 2017.
