Strengths: Returning six starters for a great core.  All six have varsity experience and can play multiple positions.  Should be strong on the mound and have quality hitters back.

Biggest challenge that the Lynx will face is depth.  As long as we stay healthy and avoid the injury bug things should go smooth. Will need to have some underclassmen step up into bigger roles this year. Losing three starters that were all selected to PVC teams last year will be a challenge offensively.

Key Players: Senior Brady Pepin will be a key player this year.  Has been a staple in centerfield  and will now need to take on some pitching duties.  Senior Corbett Arnold will step in as the number one on the mound, Corbett went 5-1 last year and pitched and some big games.  Senior Logan Thompson will need to continue his strong play in the outfield as well as at the plate.

Class C has a variety of teams that can be at the top come June.  GSA, Dexter, Houtlon, Bucksport are teams you will see near the top of class c.  All very well coached and returning key players.
