2016 OUTLOOK
"We should be very good offensively. We have a lot of experience returning at the plate and have a lot of speed on the bases. It all starts with Tyler Reichenborn for us. He sets the table for our other guys. We lost a lot of innings on the mound. We will have a chance for some young pitchers to step in and get some very important innings for us. This group of seniors has had success at the VFW and Legion level. It's time for them to carry that over to the high school season. Captains Tyler Reichenborn, Griffin Fussy, and Kevin Fanning should provide excellent leadership for this group." Head Coach Eric Feigum
