2021 OUTLOOK:
“.The Nikes look to rebuild as they lost 6 senior starters. Two of them being All-State selections. The Nikes return 4 starters from the 2020 season. All four returners will be the nucleus on the mound. The Nikes will look to several freshman and sophomores to round out the lineup” Head Coach Chris Chiprez
