Final Comments:
Will only have 2 seniors, but have a large Junior class that has had a lot of playing time at the varsity level. Both pitchers from last year return with the addition of 3 more that can compete at the varsity level. We graduated 2 very good hitters and that plate production will be replaced by several young talented players. We play in a tough conference (The KMAC) that produced 4 District Champions last season. With a solid non conference schedule, we look to be battled tested and able to make a solid tournament run.
