Spring is approaching, and with the spring season comes the beginning of the baseball season. The team played their first game on Feb.8  with a scrimmage against Clemens.

“We started off pretty well, we have a pretty good defense with good hitters,” senior Will Guzman said.

Practices are crucial in order to have success in the season, and things are already looking up.

“We’ve had some good practices,” coach Jacob Raley said. ” We will be better in May than we are in February.”

The baseball team has many players returning from last season.

“We were young last year and we got a lot of players back,” junior Justin Jones said. “Now we have more experience.”

Last season the baseball team made it to the playoffs, but the team failed to advance past the first round. The team has the experience from last year, and plans on making a run for the playoffs.

“I think we will make it to the playoffs,” Jones said. “We are one of the better teams in district.”
