2020 OUTLOOK:
We will be breaking in a lot of new faces with only two players returning from 2019 who saw significant playing time. Our season will likely hinge on what pitching depth we can develop alongside Brandt Thompson. We have quite a few guys who have put in their time at the younger levels and developed patiently, and we're excited to see them transfer that to the Varsity level. As always, we're looking to compete for the Section 2AAAA title - which is always very challenging with some great teams.” Head Coach John Buteyn
