Season Outlook
The Eagles will be lead by a trio of players that earned post season honors a year ago, Camden Jergensen, Scott Adams and Caleb Hicks.  Watch for the return of Creighton Kelley to be a big factor in the teams success this spring.  Two seniors will see increased time with Cole Sphar and Devon Nicholson, while Mitchael Casement will have have an impact on the pitching staff.  Maize looks to improve on its 8-4, 2nd Place finish in ACTVL-1 conference and make a run in the state playoffs.
