Seniors Austin Fonda (second base) and Colton Smith (shortstop) head the Tigers large veteran contingent which also includes juniors Quincy McClinsey (pitcher/third base), Atticus Mank (first base/pitcher), Landon Markidis (third base), Shannon Withey (outfield), Will Arlington and Thomas Blake along with sophomores Lane Woodworth (outfield), Brandon Dill (first base), Shawn Robertson (third base) and Devon Babcock (outfield).
The Tigers graduation losses from last spring’s return to varsity competition 1-16 team include Cole Moyle (catcher) and Jacob Pitcher (outfield/pitcher).
“We do have a large group back but it is a young team that needs to get more varsity experience,” said Coach Brad Hoffee.
The Tigers are scheduled to open the Genesee Region League season at home on Monday against Wheatland-Chili at 5 p.m.
