2022 OUTLOOK:
"We have lost significant number of offensive starters and innings on the mound from last season, but we still have the same expectations for our program. Those are to complete for Metro West Conference championship and make a deep run in the tough section 2AAAA. Even with graduating a high amount of seniors last year, we still have players with varsity experience to lead our team. We will be challenged by our schedule which is always our goal as we need to be ready for that type of competition from our section opponents."
Ross VanHauen, Chanhassen Head Coach
