Strengths:  “Our strength is our defense and pitching.  We return our entire infield two of three outfielders.  Senior dominated pitching staff brings a lot of Varsity experience as top two starters return from last year.”  

Question Marks

  • Leadership
  • Offensive Production

Outlook:  “As always, our goal is to compete for a SOL National Conference title and a District One playoff berth.  We play in one of the best divisions and conferences in the state.  We have a assembled a very strong non-league schedule with games against Hatboro Horsham, Pennridge, CB East, Upper Moreland, CB South, and Quakertown that will help to prepare us for our tough league schedule.”
