Coach Outlook: "Groves faces a challenging road ahead with the departure of ten seniors who played a key role in the team’s offensive and pitching success in 2024. While last season’s JV and Freshman teams combined for a 10-55 record, the coaching staff is optimistic about the returning varsity players and the promising talent moving up from the sub-varsity levels. With determination and growth, Groves is eager to compete for a League and District Championship."
