I hear a freshman made the North varsity as a catcher - great for him, bad for my son's U14 AAU team which now won't have his services until the end of the HS season... As for BG - they do return last year's team minus at least one player who left BG. They will have "mostly" all seniors - there's still 3 pitchers from the JR. class which will see varsity time (same as last year Kelly, Gilcrest, Ferlan). My son said they're keeping large rosters on V and JV. I would have to think having 2+ seasons under your belt at varsity (a few played significant innings as Sophs, too) would make them very dangerous, but a dominant pitcher is still going to win "most" of the time. It should be a very competitive season - I hope it's like the basketball season with 1 team in 1st, 6 teams tied for second 3 at 7,8,9, etc. Very close all year long.
