As we lead up to the start of Wisconsin's spring high school season we will be rolling out team previews from schools across the state.

Team: Racine St. Catherine’s
2013 Record:
19-3
Conference:
Metro Classic
WIAA Division:
3
Head Coach: Matt Blakeley

TOP PLAYERS (Commitment)

KJ Banse, UTL, 2014

STAT RAT
Derek Heffel went 9-1 as a junior with a .50 Era and struck out 74. He also hit .352 for the Angels.

OUTLOOK
The Angels have a new head coach in Matt Blakeley (coming over from Kaukauna) and he will be tasked to restock the cupboards after losing a majority of last year’s sectional finalist team. They return one of their top arms in Derek Heffel who went 9-1 last year with a .50 ERA and striking out 74. Jimmy Carrington will be the top offensive threat returning to the Angel lineup after hitting .517 last year with 2 homeruns and 30 RBI.
