2019 OUTLOOK:
We certainly possess the needed experience to contend for the conference championship and section. Our good players need to have good seasons and stay healthy. Josh Seidl is returning for his fourth year as our starting catcher leading from a year a ago we expect Josh to continue to be our leader. Schommer is our returning ace and seconding leading hitter; we expect Mark to provide from the mound and improve as a hitter. We need Aaron to supply quality innings against quality teams to play deep into the playoffs. Knowles started last year as an 8th grader and performed well we expect him to continue to improve he is very passionate about baseball and very coachable. ” Head Coach Bob Weier
