2019 OUTLOOK:
Will have a great team this spring.  The team has a great attitude with super personalities that care about the team first.  Lost 5 Senior players that contributed everyday, but will have players that want to fill roles and will be competing for time with talented players.  Returning we have a strong group of returning Varsity players and we have 5-7 JV players that will be competing for varsity time.  The improvement we believe that has happened from our returning players is way ahead of where we were a year ago.  Will need to replace a great catcher, but we should have some competition to fill this role on the team.” Head Coach Bucky Mieras
