Coach’s comments: “We have good leadership, but we are still trying to mold our younger players. The experience of our three seniors is a plus. We will miss Reecie (Gilliam) on bases, but we have some kids who can steal bases. We can be a running team. We do have a few power hitters and some good contact hitters who can move runners. What we do at varsity will be new to our freshmen. Defense will be an early strength. I want to see them make big plays in the field and at the plate. We play a lot of tough teams, so we will have our hands full.”
