Season Outlook

The Huskies look to make back-to-back appearances in the state tournament for the first time in school history.  They will have a trio of proven senior pitchers to lead the way. Senior right-handed pitcher Max Abramovich earned All-State honors in 2017, while senior lefties, William Dennis and Scott Duensing were named Honorable Mention All-EKL. Senior 3B Josh Fiene will lead the Huskies offensively after being named 1st Team All EKL last season. Blue Valley Northwest will have several juniors and seniors and even some sophomores battling for key roles this spring.  Watch for the Huskies to gain momentum during the tough EKL schedule and carry that momentum into the post season.
