WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - Hibriten returns several of their impact arms from a year ago. Jake Absher will lead a lineup that should have some pop in the middle of the order. With so much experience returning the Panthers could play spoiler in the Northwest Foothills 3A/4A Conference.
Expected Team Strength - A large number of returners and several talented young players should make us a very competitive team this year. Strengths should be the middle of our batting order hitting, and pitching depth.
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We are excited to see how our younger players can add to the large group of returning players we have on this year's team. This team has the potential to field a solid lineup that can score runs, along with a good mount of pitching depth. Our defensive play and overall team culture/work ethic will determine just how good this team can be.
