Strengths/Question Marks: 

Return top 2 pitchers from ’12 team as well as a 3 year starting catcher and our top hitter.  Will our young players step up and play solid defense and produce offensively?  Will our team come together and stay focused on our goals

Outlook:  “We graduated nine seniors and had a great finish to a wild season last year, winning the District One title.  The team has some decent Varsity playing experience and has goals of achieving excellence on and off the field.  The team believes if they stay focused on the things they can control and not those in which they cannot, that success will follow.  The long term goals never change…league, district and state titles.”

GAMES TO WATCH:  “The SOL Continental is one of the most competitive leagues in the state.   Every game is one to watch.  All of the teams in this league can win on any given day and it happens each and every year.”
