Outlook
The Panthers are hoping to continue the success from last season as Parkdale finished with one of the top records in Prince George county and turned that into a top seed into the MPSSAA tournament. Unfortunately, the Panthers were upset in the Sectional finals. Leading the way for the Panthers is P/IF Aaron Murray coming off a special season for the Panthers leading them in the Majority of offensive categories among the returning starters. Murray will be a dangerous bat in the lineup while also being one of the top arms in the pitching staff. Tyler Compton and Cody Compton should continue to build from their strong offensive seasons to add depth to the lineup. Parkdale should yet again contend for a Prince George regular season championship and be a contender for the 4A south.
