Any particular reason? Did he get a job? or just fed up with sports?

 

What about Logan Ferrara? Is he coming back to the diamond?

 

Chris' throwing shoulder giving him problems. Logan will be running track instead of baseball.

What about that tall Giesler boy...Jake. Has his old man badgered him into playing hardball this year??? (LOL)

Chris' throwing shoulder giving him problems. Logan will be running track instead of baseball.

 

And his tude gave him problems as well.

NCC returns what some say is the best 2nd basebman/pitcher in the region in Jeramie Connor

 

Nate Rawe IMO one of the best SS

 

Mark kelly one of the best catchers

 

Chris Grosser is extremly fast as

 

how does the rest of the line up shake out?

This team will be dangerous and surely a 9th region favorite!

 

Not to take anything away from this team, but I only see them being dangerous with Connor on the mound. Pitching and defense wins championships and without him on the mound I can't see them going through the region like they did last year with Enzweiler (sp?) as a big help.

I'd have to agree, they will be a solid team, but I don't see them doing much damage unless Connor is on the mound. CovCath beat them twice in the regular season convincingly, and then in the game that mattered Connor had a great night and CovCath had an average at best night. Hats off to NCC for taking advantage of it, but aside from Connor I just don't see them doing that well..

[Dungeon Master]

These are the returning starters from last year from what I hear:

Rawe- SS

Kelly- supposedly switching to center field this year

Connor- Pitcher and 2B

Geisler- could be playing 1B this year

 

other seniors are:

Steve Young

Tyler Bader

Ben Parr

Jake Lohr

Shaun Meyer will have to be in the starting rotation. He is a good pitcher and a great athlete.

[homeofthewhopper]

Agreed Shaun is a very good athlete! Would think he'd be playing 3rd when he's not pitching with Rawe at short and Connor at 2nd.

Third base would be good fit for him. Also a great fit for the team because he needs to be on the field besides just being a pitcher. He is a really fine player.

I hope everyone has the same attitude. NCC will be very good again and make a run at a regional title. They have a couple of nice juniors and their sophomore class is very strong. The future is very bright in Thoroughbred land.

I seem to remember young Jake Giesler pitching in some City Championship games a few years back. That would be a pretty imposing stretch on the mound if he plays!

He is not. I hear he wants to concentrate on basketball and football

The new name to remember at NCC is Shaun Meyer........he will be an excellent P/inf and is probably their best SS but may be reassigned to allow someone to hold it full-time (because he pitches) Shaun is a nice hitter and will be a solid two on the mound behind Conner. Another slick inf. to watch is Nate Siebert....nice hands, good glove, still developing as a hitter.

[That's Pat]

NCC has alot of good athletes returning, should make a run for it aain if thePitching holds up.

Shaun is an excellent athlete but is not a better SS than Nate Rawe nor can he hit with him. Shaun still needs to prove himself on the mound at the varsity level which I'm sure he will. Again he's an asset to the team but to say he can hold SS down.....not yet but next year probably. Nate Rawe is just to solid and NCC needs his leadership along with Connor to have a chance to repeat last years accomplishments.
