OUTLOOK
The Sheppard coaching tree in New Jersey is storied, and John Sheppard's success at Morristown-Beard is no exception. Coach Sheppard returns for his 26th Season at the helm, with a team that has a solid mixture of veterans and young talent. Mo-Beard will rely on the right arm and bat of top uncomitted 2020 Pat Coyne to carry them deep into state tournament play. This team is young, but as the weather warms, expect Mo-Beard to be back in contention for the Non-Public B crown.
