General Season Outlook:

The Goats are coming off a solid 15-9 record and a shared 1st place standing in the CTL from the previous season. Retaining their entire pitching staff, except for Braiden Boyd, the team is poised to rely on their experience on the mound. With two seniors and four returning letter winners, the Goats anticipate integrating new faces into the lineup and look to their younger players for significant contributions.

Player to watch, Luke Hollenbeck, has undergone notable physical development during the off-season, showcasing growth that’s impressive even for a 1st Team All-League player. Ryan Rainville’s veteran leadership is expected to be a crucial asset for the team, providing guidance to a younger roster. Keep an eye on freshman Maddoc Finch, who, despite being a newcomer, has already impressed the coaching staff during the initial week of practice, displaying a level of maturity and skill beyond his grade.

Coaches Quote About the Upcoming Season:

“The coaching staff is thrilled about the upcoming season, fueled by a mix of returning players and dedicated newcomers with the potential to excel. One of our team’s strengths lies in our pitching staff, featuring the return of All-League pitchers Luke Hollenbeck and Kellen Reinhart, supplemented by promising newcomers Christian Cruz and Maddoc Finch. With these four reliable arms on the mound, we believe our pitching staff will hold its own against any competition in the league. Our ultimate goal is the ‘trifecta’: winning the league, securing districts, and competing in the state tournament. We’re aiming high, and the team is ready for the challenge.”
