Premier 16 BLACK
This group double-qualified in 15 USA by taking runner up at Crossroads and Show Me. They placed 17th at Nationals. Ball control will continue to be a strength this year. With pin hitters capable of playing 6 rotations, opponents are going to struggle to find a weak rotation.
This team will need to show growth on the offensive side of the game to continue competing at the level it has in previous years. We will be striving to improve the tempo of our play to have more one-on-one blocking situations.–Coach Scheef
