WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Last year they started 5 sophomores and a freshman at times. This year those guys have a ton of varsity experience. They will be lead on the mound by Sr. Ricky Montalvo, Newberry Commit and at the plate by Walt Waddell. The Panthers return a great group of young men who have won 18 baseball games a year ago. They have their eyes set on contending at the highest level this year.
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
I'm excited to see how far we have come in the offseason. Last year we were 6 games from winning a State Championship and the boys' focus has been on improving the areas needed to make up those 6 games.
