OUTLOOK

On paper this team may be more talented than last year’s group.  It doesn’t have the same experience at the high school level that those guys did, but the talent is off the charts.  The pitching staff is ten deep and this group of position players may be the deepest bunch they’ve had in the last seven years.  This group has a chance to be special.
