What to Watch For

A solid core of seniors that know how to reach the post-season are teamed with young talent that took the opportunity to get experience in 2016.  Coach Ball looks for the defense to set the tone as the Falcons returns his entire infield.  Offensively, the top of the order returns providing a spark.  The Falcons will need to build depth in their lineup to stress opponents throughout the game.
