Outlook:
Loudoun Valley is the defending 3A State Champions, finishing 24-3 overall in 2014 and going 7-0 in the 3A playoffs. The 2015 Vikings will again have a strong squad as they return some talented starters and their two best pitchers. The 2015 pitching staff will be led by the dominant pair of battle-tested righties that helped lead the Vikings to the State Championship, Jack DeGroat (RHP, 2015) and Justin Ager (RHP, 2016). The line-up will be led up the middle by Sam Urban (OF, 2015), Trey McDyre (MIF, 2016), and Hunter Gore (C, 2016).  Loudoun Valley will be a strong pitching and defense team this year, and they will be challenged early in the season as they play a Dulles District schedule loaded with 5A schools. If the Vikings can replace some of their graduated offense and learn a formula for success during the early portion of their season, they will be the favorites to win Conference 28 and threaten to defend their 3A Northern Region and 3A State Championships.
