WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Eagles return most of their 2022 Central Piedmont championship club in ‘23. They will miss 2022 1st Rounder Xavier Isaac in the lineup but return their three horses on the mound in Braxton Steward, Steele Lee and Ethan Norby. The mound talent and athletic lineup should give East Forsyth a chance to repeat in a once again challenging Central Piedmont 4A.
Expected Team Strength - We expect to be strong on the mound with only losing 9 innings to graduation. We plan to be strong defensively and our team speed will play a vital role in our success.
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
I'm excited to see how this group responds to adversity and to see what challenges they can overcome throughout the season.
