2019 OUTLOOK
"We are still a relatively young team with only 2 seniors, but many of our juniors have 2 years of varsity experience and that will help us be competitive throughout the year.  Our offense looks to be very deep and we should be able to score runs from any point in the lineup.  Defensively, we only lost 1 pitcher from last year so we bring back plenty of experience on the mound and return 5 starters in the field.  With a little early season confidence boost and guys willing to fill their roles throughout the year, this team has the potential to compete for a conference title and be a very tough out come playoff time." Head Coach Jesse Jablonski
