Outlook: “Neshaminy will look to compete for the league championship and make a deep playoff run. Although there are many underclassmen on the team, they are experienced underclassmen. Chase Bonner, Brandon Lall and Noah Wallace were all starters as sophomores and play well above their Junior year status. There were some uncertainties heading into the season, but many of the questions we had were answered in a positive manner during our scrimmages. We have a very deep pitching staff that we will look to lean on with our new 3 game series league schedule. Offensively, the team will be led by Chase Bonner, Brandon Lall, Danny Nocito, Jake Plebani and Noah Wallace.”
