Final Comments:
-Our biggest team strength is our pitching staff, we return our top five pitchers from last and we will look for our staff to carry us and keep us in ball games. We also return three of best hitters from last year's team.

-If we are going to have a really successful year, it will come down to defense in the middle, we are replacing guys at catcher, centerfield, and hoping to have some guys step up in the middle infield positions.

-Our goal is to compete for the Conference Title. I believe we have the capability to do that with the strengths of our team, but the conference will be tough as league winners, Canfield and Austintown Fitch return lots of talent. Howland and Warren Harding are also very young and have plenty of talent back as well.
