We are excited to announce the launch of a new baseball co-op program with LaSalle Lincoln for the upcoming season. While official competition has not yet begun, student-athletes from both schools have been coming together for off-season preparation, team conditioning, and program organization. We look forward to community support as we head into our first week of competition. The first game will be today on the road at Bureau Valley, where the team looks to pick up its first victory of the season. Click on the link for a complete baseball schedule:
