WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Wildcats look to be strong again in 2023. They return Bromley Thornton and Sean Smith on the mound and their defense and lineup will be anchored by Luke Nixon. With the continued development of other guys that gained valuable experience last season New Hanover could once again make another deep 4A playoff run.
