2014 Outlook: “With our senior leadership and aggressive play on offense and experience on defense, we expect to be able to score and play solid defense, Returning starting pitcher Grace DeRosa is seasoned and should be helped by returning pitcher Rita Laychock. The Panthers expect that this group of seniors and juniors will turn their dismal season from last year around, and compete for a Suburban One American title and a District One playoff spot.”
