Outlook: This is a once in a generation team. We’ve been to the state playoffs each of the past 2 seasons, including a trip to the state semifinals when Rafe and Nick were both starters as freshman. The goal this season is to cement the legacies for these seniors and make another deep run in the playoffs.
Carter and Rafe have the potential to be one of the best pitching duos in league history, while Rafe looks to finish his career as one of best hitters in league history. This is a special group with extremely high expectations.
