WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Bobcats will have plenty of depth on their 2023 roster. They return plenty of pitching and the pitching should be backed by a strong defense. The lineup should have a blend of speed and power that should allow them to score runs. Glenn will rely on that depth and experience as they look to challenge for a championship in the talented Central Piedmont 4A Conference.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
I am very upbeat about the 2023 squad.  We see a lot more depth in this team than we have had in years.  Our guys have gotten faster and stronger over the last year and with some key additions we think our overall performance will be better.  We have had a solid off season with these guys and they are a lot of fun to coach and be around.  They never want to leave the field.
