OUTLOOK

Coach Sindone: "This team is special.. Their work ethic is some of the best I have witnessed. Very talented yes but what people will notice is how hard they play the game. If we can hit like we think they can we will be in a position to win quite a few games. We have depth at multiple positions which could allow for us to move some guys around and control pitching matchups. This pitching staff is also very special. If they are on, It won't be easy for other teams however they all have good arms too. Ultimately with this very challenging schedule our goal is to prepare them for a very competitive district tournament. It will come down to us being disciplined, staying together by blocking out outside noise and most importantly remaining healthy. If these things fall in place, this could be one of the best high school teams that I ever get to coach."
