2016 OUTLOOK
"The 2016 squad has a lot of unanswered questions but also has a very high ceiling. We have depth in pitching and a junior class that had a very successful sophomore campaign at the JV level a year ago. The schedule is very challenging as always, but this group of young men appear up to the challenge thus far." Head Coach Andy Osborne
