2016 Spring Team Preview: Harrison Central Huskies

Team Name: Harrison Central Huskies
Head Coach: Michael Valesko
Division: III
2015 Record: 17-7
Conference Record: OVAC, runner-up
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8/6

2016 Team Strengths:

• Senior leadership
• Pitching

2016 Team Weaknesses:

• We need to do a better job of driving in runs at the bottom of the lineup

Coach Outlook: "We return a lot of experience from last season’s team. This is probably the deepest we've been in a long time."

PBR Outlook: The Huskies are deep and coach Valesko has a team with eyes on a deep tournament run. Could this be the year for Huskies? Only time will tell.
