The Raiders enter the upcoming season as the defending Area Champions. With a veteran core, emerging young talent, and high expectations, the Raiders are ready to defend that title. With 8–9 players returning who have accumulated more than 300 innings of varsity experience, this group brings both maturity and competitive confidence to the field.

Jaxton Bennett, Liam Tomalty, Keaton Schroer, Jack Reeves, Bradford Hall, and Ryan Martin headline a strong returning class. Their experience in big games provides stability across the lineup and consistency on defense. This group sets the tone daily with their preparation and understanding of what it takes to compete at a high level.

The Raiders will also rely on several underclassmen that are set to make immediate contributions. Collin Kronk, Will Perkins, and Lucas Israel will all add depth and versatility to an already strong lineup.

The Raiders will play in an area that features West Limestone, Westminster Christian Academy, and JP2. These contests will provide early opportunities to measure growth and execution.

The coaching staff has emphasized doing everything with intent and purpose. The focus remains internal, not on preseason rankings or external expectations, but on maximizing performance and execution on every pitch.

With experience and depth, the Raiders look to continue their championship success from last season. The season officially kicks off on Thursday, February 19 at Guntersville. The first pitch is set for 4:30pm.
