MEDIA RELEASE__Upper Scioto Valley Baseball Outlook
Last year, we had a wonderful season, which included sharing our first NWCC championship since 2012 and winning a sectional championship for the first time since 2005. We feel as though we earned respect in our league. Now the task changes as we are going to get everyone's best shot this year. We hope to relish that challenge and continue to achieve some new goals this season. We feel that if we can get positive pitching contributions from several players and step it up more consistently on offense, we have the potential to have another outstanding season.
