2022 OUTLOOK:
“We return most of our lineup from a young team last season who battled through many one-run losses. We also return the majority of our pitching so we will be very experienced on the mound. We should have a chance to compete with everyone we will face in 2022.”
Shannon Blansette, Anoka Head Coach
