WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - South Brunswick came within one win of a State Championship in 2022. While they lose some valuable arms they do return some key contributors from that lineup, including the potential 1st pick of the 2023 MLB Draft Walker Jenkins. It will be interesting to see how much Jenkins gets pitched in 2023 with a heavy contingent of pro scouts expected at his games. If Banks Hartman, Patrick Boldt and Luke Dilgard can build on their successful seasons a year ago it could be another exciting year for the Cougars.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
I am excited to see how our guys gel together and compete for one ultimate goal.  We have a great group of men who also happen to be good baseball players.  Seeing them buy in and compete in one of the toughest conference in NC is going to be fun to watch!
