--Jeron Williams (Toledo)
Strengths:
“A number of key returning letter winners that had very productive years last season.”
Weaknesses:
“Making up for the loss of some outstanding players that graduated, and for the loss of injured player,
Jack Hurst. We will also need to develop some depth on our pitching staff.
Overall Team Outlook:
“This team is very motivated to continue the tradition of Archbold Baseball. Another strong non-
league schedule including Defiance, Perrysburg, Anthony Wayne, Bowling Green, Ottawa Hills, and
Sylvania Southview, plus many teams in our immediate area and league, will be quite challenging.
League Race:
“ It is very difficult to win a strong league, especially when you only play a single round of seven
league games. Bryan is the defending champs, and has quite a few players returning. Most of the
teams in the league are going to be stronger than they were last year, which will make for quite a few
teams, with a chance to compete for the championship.
