2016 OUTLOOK
"2016 for us will be one of many questions. We lost a lot to graduation in our best middle infielder and a guy that solidified the middle of the lineup in Andrew VanDehey, the solid bat of Brady Boeddeker, and the quickness and base running capabilities of Tommy Reinking and Alex Byers. Pair that with being in a new, bigger conference, we need our young guys to grow up fast. There is real no easy game in the Wright County West, but hopefully these games will prepare us for our section." Head Coach Tyler Maher
