WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - North Gaston will see many new faces in their 2023 starting lineup. They do return two starting pitchers and will look for other arms to contribute as they look to compete for the Big South 3A Title.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
After losing 6 starting position players and moving some returning guys around, we will have new starters at every position on the field.   While inexperienced this team has a ton of potential and a lot to prove.
