WEST REGION PREVIEWS

FACS       15-16                       1/15/07

Dan Gant(1st) and Andrew Brimhall(SS) lead a 10th grade class that is one of the best this small school has seen for a while. Dan lead the team in home runs as a freshman and looks to be doing more of the same this year. Brimhall, who split time at short stop last year, is a great defensive anchor for this team and is one of
those players who will never quit. (10) Mark Reed (OF/P)is one of two returning juniors to our team. In the past two years he has shown night and day improvement as a player and we are excited to see what this season holds. (11) Justin Hopper(P), Zach Clark(OF), and Will Wilson(3rd/2nd) are our returning seniors. Hopper has been our best pitcher for the past two years and we are wanting to see him finish strong. Zach loves this game and this team. If ever there was a heart to FACS baseball, it is him. Wilson was a big lift to us last season and will be coming back as a senior this year. He was a good all around player last year and we expect even better from him this year.

Our key for success this season is simple--Play with confidence consistently. We are a small school and playing against the talent in our region is a difficult task. However, if we can play consistent ball and play with confidence we should have a good season for FACS baseball.

We have the most experience that I have had at Briarcrest. We hope to have a chance to contend for region title and state championship this season.  We have some pitching depth and more hitters in the lineup.  The keys to our success is team chemistry and staying injury free.
