2023 Spring Team Preview: South Central Trojans

Team Name: South Central Trojans
Head Coach: Nick Kirk
Division: IV
2022 Record: 20-7
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/3

Coach Outlook: "We have many core players returning from last year, along with the talented freshman class we have, I believe we can write our own destiny. It will be hard to replace the leadership and talent we lost but with the upperclassmen we have, I believe the sky is the limit for this squad. The work ethic that they have shown throughout the off season and their passion for wanting to continue to get better, is second to none. I'm excited, along with the rest of our coaching staff to see what these young men accomplish this year. We have unfinished business to achieve."
