2017 TEAM PREVIEW: Centerville Bulldogs

Head Coach: Tracey Crull
Class: 2A
2016 Record: 10-11
Conference (2016 Record):  Tri-Eastern 5-2
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/4

2017 Team Strengths:

• Speed
• Pitching
• Defense 

Top Returning Players:

• Nolan Witte, SS/P, 2018
• Matt Stamper, OF/P, 2017
• Tyler Phenis, P/INF, 2018
• Peyton Hobson, OF, 2019
• Chris Pritchett, OF, 2019
• Dalton Stevens, P/INF, 2019 

Outlook:  Coach Crull looks to build off of last year with his 6 hitters and 4 pitchers coming back to the 2017 season.  Centerville will be led by Nolan Witte and Matt Stamper, who were key parts of the offensive success last season. The Bulldogs will have another tough schedule with the Tri-Eastern, but should have the experience and lineup to compete with the best in the conference and sectional.
