Key newcomers:
Conference outlook:
Abby and Rib Lake once again look to be at the top of the conference. Athens wants to compete and improve daily and see where we are at the end of the year.
Keys to your success this season:
Pitching and Defense will be critical to our success. We must focus daily on details that allow us to stay in the game. We are not an offensive juggernaut, so we must do everything right to compete with the top-tier teams.
Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share?
I want my players to improve every day. I want them to focus on detail and have the discipline to win games. I will see this season as successful if we improve and do things correctly. Baseball is a humbling sport, and I tell my players daily that the lessons they can learn in baseball will make them better people on the playing field and in life.
