Wave
Baseball Improving With Experience, Confidence
Grundy
Returns Seven Starters
|
|
by
Lloyd Combs
Sports Reporter
After
years of being a pushover in the Southwest District, could
this be the year Grundy starts to push back?
The
Golden Wave pushed a couple of the better programs in the
league to the limit last season, including Abingdon in a
4-2 loss in the SWD tournament.
Grundy
has seven starters back, six of whom have played, and, in
most cases, started, three or four years. The Wave, 4-13
overall and 1-11 in the SWD last year, are in a position
to make a push this season. How much of one remains to be
seen.
Catcher
Jeremy O'Quinn and first baseman Cody Cantrell are the
only seniors in a starting lineup that includes three
juniors, three sophomores and a freshman.
