With boys basketball and wrestling now in the rearview
mirror, some of the high school boys have turned their athletic focus to the
diamond. The high school baseball team
is set to begin practice on March 21st, and the junior high students
will begin on March 29th.
This year’s team will have a very different look. Most notably will be coaching changes,
headlined by Blaine Walstrom who will begin his first year at the helm of
Bulldog Baseball. Walstrom will be
assisted by returning assistant coach Matt Wroge, and Steve Beckman. The junior high team will be headed up by
Mike Lee and assisted by Carter Berkelman.
The varsity team will also have a new look with the guys out
on the field. While major varsity
experience is not there, the team will be led by a group of seven seniors. Returning seniors include: Logan Aagaard,
Will Dietrich, Andrew Gebhardt, Tyler Norman, Daniel Whitaker, with new
additions of Jacob Heimerl and Roman Heimerl.
One worthy note, is that due to numbers there will be
crossover between varsity and junior varsity players, forcing JV games to take
place (in most cases) after the varsity game instead of at the same time.
If the weather holds up, the first pitch is set to be thrown
on Monday, April 4, when the Bulldogs head to Norwood Young America. The first home game will be played in Lester
Prairie on Monday, April 11 at 4pm against ACGC.
