Coach: Casey Jensen , 2nd year varsity;
7th overall
Last Season’s Record and Playoff results:
7-12; 1-1 in the playoffs eventually losing to Sherwood 8-0

Key Games: Blair & Sherwood are teams to beat in division. Last year’s 3-2 win over Blair in 9 innings was really special.

Players to watch: Pitchers: Jason Skeen (11th), Alex Sims (11th), Griffith Potts (11th)
Catcher Kalen Kerere (12th)
Center fielder Chris Hatcher (12th)

Team strengths: Pitching

Team weaknesses: Young infield and we play a very tough schedule

We have the potential to have a very good year. Last year we didn’t have much senior leadership and this year we can count on it every game. We do play a very tough schedule, but in order to get better as a team and program we need to play teams that are better than us. As a former alumnus and PB baseball player, I wouldn’t want it any other way.
