As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.

Team: PikeView
Nickname: Panthers
Class: 2A
League: Coalfield
Head Coach: Josh Wyatt
2014 Overall Record: 25-7 (lost in region finals)

TOP PLAYERS:
Austin Cordell, 1B/LHP, Class of 2015 (1st Team All-State in 2014, 64 RBI)
Carter Shrewsbury, OF/RHP, Class of 2016 (Special Honorable Mention All-State in 2014) 
Jon Clark, 3B/RHP, Class of 2016 (1st Team All-Conference in 2014)
Levi Nash, RHP/Util, Class of 2016 (1st Team All-Conference in 2014)
Keian Lee, Util/RHP, Class of 2016 (2nd Team All-Conference in 2014)

Others to watch:
Ben Boggess, 2B, Class of 2016 (2nd Team All-Conference in 2014)
Jacob Harmon, RHP, Class of 2017 (2nd Team All-Conference in 2014, 7-1 with 1.54 ERA)
Seth Meadows, Util, Class of 2017
Adam Holdren, OF, Class of 2016 (34 runs scored in 2014)

SEASON OUTLOOK:
The Panthers return a large share of the contributors that helped lead them to a region finals appearance in 2014. With an additional year of experience under their belts look for PikeView to build on last year's 25 win season and No. 6 ranking in the final PBR Elite Eight poll.
 
According to the Coach:
"We should be a solid team with more depth than PikeView has had since the school opened. We look to build on the last two seasons as the majority of last year's offensive and pitching production returns. We should be among the top teams in AA."
