STRENGTHS:  The team should be experienced with a number of boys who have played gotten valuable playing time the past few years.  If healthy, the team should have some nice arms from the mound.

QUESTION MARKS:  The one weakness on the team is if they do not all have the same goal.  If all the players sacrifice and play as a team, the season will be a success.  It has been a slow start with the weather and a number of players who are basketball players and their run in the playoffs.

OUTLOOK:   “The team has a number of players returning from last season.  With the experience of last season and the leadership being shown by some of the older players, the opportunity for success is there.  As always if the entire team has a ‘team attitude’ we will have success.  If the team plays as expected, we should battle every inning of every game.”

FUN FACT:  The team is planning its annual weekend trip to the Poconos.  This will be the 12th year for the trip.  It is a great time to bond with teammates and have some competitive fun.  An intense wiffle ball tournament is always a highlight of the weekend along with some great food.
