4/12-4/14 Tournament At Greensboro Grasshoppers Stadium - Teams TBA 

STARTERS RETURNING: 6          

RETURNING PITCHERS: 5           

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Bulldogs return much of their offensive production from a year ago. They should also have depth on the mound. If the pitching and hitting can come together late in the year the Bulldogs could be competitive in the Central 3A Conference.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
2022 for the Bulldogs was a rebuilding year where we did not make the cut for the NCHSAA state playoffs.  For 2023, we are excited to return the majority of our starters from the varsity squad.  We are still a pretty young team and believe this year could be a year where we compete near the top of our conference and make an appearance in the postseason.
