JV and Varsity Baseball Preview

As basketball season moves forward, baseball season is on its way. The Varsity team has two senior players returning to help the Indians to a successful season. These individuals are Jackie Burton and Jordan Corvin. Many other talents will be on the Varsity team this year; examples are W.K Dalton, Wyatt Sowers, Jackson Sowers, Austin Akers, and Marques Hensley. Coached by Coach Hughes, this team is looking to make a stand in the Hogoheegee district this year, against powerhouses Holston and Chilhowie. I predict them to be a contender and have a winning record. JV is having a lot of talent return this year, and some joining. Players returning are Brian Patrick, Jamie Phillippi, Trent O’Neil, Blake Holmes, Tyler Foster, Will Montgomery, and Corey Hayes. Keep in mind that JV does not have a district tournament, and whoever has the best regular season record will win the district. The Rural Retreat JV team will be testing the skill of the Hogoheegee this year, with new players coming up, like Jacob Davis, Tray Winborne, Jacob Atwell, Cameron Bear, and 8th grader Tyler Fiscus has talked about possibly skipping his 8th grade season to play for JV. Whatever happens, this will be a good year for the baseball teams for RR.
