UNDERCLASS PLAYERS TO WATCH
2016, Cullin Neeck, RHP/OF

X-FACTOR
The Cardinals have a solid group of returners in 2015; but still must replace the loss of 6 starting position players from the 2014 squad.

2015 OUTLOOK
Lewiston-Altura looks to be competitive in the strong Three Rivers Conference. They have experience back at most positions but will still need players to step up and contribute to the team's success. The TRC is highly competitive night in and night out and the Cardinals expect to finish in the top half of the conference and prepare themselves for Sectional play.
