STARTERS RETURNING: 5          

RETURNING PITCHERS: 2           

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - Jaxon Lucas and Henry Good return in 2023 and should lead the Trojans on the mound and at the plate. They have some experienced bats in their lineup that should provide run support as they look to develop some young arms early in the year. The Trojans should be competitive again in the very challenging Greater Neuse River 4A Conference.

Expected Team Strength - Starting pitching has a lot of experience

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We have a good mix of veteran and youth players and should be fun to watch them grow.
