Returning Players
Austin Johnson SS/P - Going to be Senior, Top player in the 14th region, all-around great player who continues to work hard. This kid works hard in the off-season than any kid I've ever seen.

Evan Whitaker P/3B/1B - Going to be Senior, Ace pitcher, throws mid-80's. Big bat.

Jordan Olinger CF - Going to be Senior, hits the ball harder than any high schooler I can remember in the 14th region. Speed + Power = Jordan Olinger.

Nathan Stupart OF - Going to be Senior, kid has battled many injuries throughout his career. Not the most athletic player on the team but he really understands the game.

Griffin Wells 1B - Going to be Freshman, soft hands, bright future, bat will improve with age/muscle. SMART player.

Kameron Conley P - Going to be 8th Grader, throws low-80's as 7th grader, has a chance to become best pitcher in school history, has some growing up to do tho but still young.

Blake Nidiffer 2B/SS - Going to be Freshman, started a few games at the end of the season but he will for sure be pushing for a starting position next year. Good fielder, bat will come with age/muscle. Loves the game.

Josh Meehan OF - Going to be Junior, bat has some power, will only be stronger next season due to football, solid player.

Jake Roll C - Going to be Junior, 2 year starter, needs to work on bat but as been pretty solid behind the plate. Will be pushed for starting position by (FR) Cole Ratliff.

Cole Ratliff C - Going to be Freshman, started last post-season due to injury, will push Roll for playing time, Ratliff has GREAT work ethic, needs to improve speed.

J.T. Haynes IF - Going to be Junior, 2 year starter, will be pushed by the great upcoming class but don't see anyone putting Haynes in the dugout, dad is a baseball junkie and assistant coach, Haynes understands the game.


Anything less than a Region Title in 2013 is a huge letdown for the Bulldogs. Will be playing a few upcoming freshmen in 2013 but Johnson, Whitaker, and Olinger will be 3 of the 10 players in the 14th region in 2013.
