Strengths: “I believe our pitching and our defense will be very strong. Right now hitting is a question mark but it is very early in the season.”
Outlook: “Like everyone, it has been very difficult to get a true read on what we will do. The weather has only allowed us to be on a field twice and both of those times were scrimmages. I believe we will be very competitive. The team has very smart and extremely coachable players. We would like to believe we can pick up where we left off last year, but time will tell. We all know that Hatboro is always very good and we also view Upper Moreland as coming on strong.”
