Upper Moreland Golden Bears 2014
·Head Coach: Ernie Rehr 8th Season
- Assistant Coaches: Ken Irwin (4th Season), Dan Heiland (1st Season)
·Last Year’s Record: 13-1 in league, 21-5 overall including playoffs; SOL American Champions, District One Runner Up, PIAA State Runner up
·Starters Lost: (Robert Knox– starting OF at West Chester University, Matt Kohn, Nick Corbett )
·Key Returnees: Seniors – Charlie Hooker P/OF, Eddie Decker P/OF, Tommy Robinson P/OF, Dennis Long P/OF, Mike Cavanaugh 3B, Kyle Irwin SS, Nick Parker 2B, Pat Driscoll C Juniors - Colton Hooker
·Others to Watch: Sophomores – Paul Ciampoli INF, Connor Casey INF
·Strengths: We return the majority of the State runner up team from last season. All pitchers return for their senior year. Depth at the positions we lost to graduation.
·Question Marks: Is this team hungry enough or will recent success keep them satisfied? Can they replace the duo of Knox and Kohn in the outfield?
·Outlook: This team has the talent to compete at a high level once again at the conference and district level. They would love to get another opportunity at both district and state levels but must realize the amount of work needed to put in for these goals to become a reality.
