STRENGTHS:  The team has some experience but will need other players to step up and play with confidence.  If healthy, the team should have some nice arms from the mound.

QUESTION MARKS:  The one (question mark) 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. 

OUTLOOK:   “The team will have leadership and a top player in senior Danny Long.  Also junior Andrew Mayhew pitched very well last season and we hope he will continue to throw strikes and keep batters off balance.   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.”
