Who are some key returning players for the team and what do you hope to see from each of them this year? 

Preston Flournoy, Chris Maiocca, Tav Hiaring, Ryder Hollifield, Owen Perry, Ryan Yesford, Braylon Schellhammer, Cooper Schneidt, Patrick Wilson.  We are hoping that these young men compete not only against each other but our opponents.  We have some special players that can be very good if the mindset stays elite. 

Who are some key underclassmen that are moving up in the program and can make an impact? What do you hope to see from each of them this year? 

Beckham Hatfield, Cooper Willoughby, Dax Fizer.  Hoping that they can play at a level that they have not played at before and push those that are ahead of them.

What areas will you be focusing on early in the season? 

Pitching will be a big focus.  We do not have that dominant number 1 type of arm, but we are 9-11 guys deep that all could see significant amount of time on the mound.

What are the expectations and goals for the team in 2026? 

The goal always remains the same.  Play on the last day of our season.

Anything else you would like to add about the 2026 team or your program overall. 

We have been the 3rd place team in the state the previous 3 years.  With the expectation of playing on the last day of our season we are grinding to bring home a different color trophy this year.
