WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - After an historic season in 2022 which saw the Panthers go 34-0 and win the 4A State Championship the 2023 club will look to carry on the tradition at Providence. They return a core group of position players and will be solid up the middle with Luke Wolff behind the plate and Sam Danskey at short. Their ability to grind out at bats 1-9 will be key as they develop new arms early in the year. The road to the Southwestern 4A Championship still goes through Providence in 2023.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We have had a great off-season and I'm excited to watch our guys compete
