Final Comments:
We return 7 starters from a District Championship Team and only have 3 Seniors on this roster. We feel very strongly about our Freshman class and hope to compete for the schools first league title and hopefully be in a position to compete for another District Title. Strengths for us will be our defense as we replace our Catcher and Right Fielder, we also feel our strength will be on the mound as we return 8 arms. Our weakness will be losing a 3 year starter behind the plate and one of our top 2 arms for the last 3 years.
