WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - Parker Lakey, Garrett Pyne, Anthony Umbach and Davis Rhyne will play key roles for the Ragin’ Bulls in 2023. Lakey, Pyne, and Ryne give them three strong arms that can hold down opposing offenses. Umbach will lead a competitive lineup that should see Hickory Ridge be very competitive in the Greater Metro 4A Conference.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We have challenged our kids on and off the field this offseason, I am excited to see their hard work pay off this spring.
