2023 Outlook: Panthers expect to return 6 starters from last season’s 4A Championship Team. The pitching staff is intact with the addition of 1 or 2 new arms. Our strengths will be the pitching staff and experience. Viscito, Albert, and Hubert will continue to anchor the staff. Additionally, we look for Klotz to get back into the pitching mix this season. Werkheiser remains in charge behind the plate to manage the pitching staff. We hope to once again contend in the Colonial League and District Playoffs.
