Leading the list are seniors Ethan Fanck and Justice Hylton who earned All-State honors as juniors and look to lead the Bulldogs to Final Four this spring. Senior OF/LHP Zach Snodgrass leads a list of All-District players returning. Ryan Devore, Ben Luton and Evan Hutcheson are part of the nucleus of the team and will play big roles for the Bulldogs this spring. Carl Junction looks to build on their 28-5 and season from a year ago and take the next step this spring. The Bulldogs have poised to be a threat to any team standing in their way.
