It's that time of year again. The freshly-cut grass, the sun's shining on the diamond, and the Northtown Hornets baseball team is ready to take the field.

            "Man, I'm super excited about the season. Junior year is a big year for athletes in my opinion.

It's going to be a fun season so I'm ready" – Robert Grado

With tryouts starting March 1^st, the varsity squad has been practicing in the mornings to make sure they have the edge needed to be a top program in the city. They will need to be ready as they had to move into a powerhouse conference that includes Staley and Park Hill South. But, don't count the Hornets out of anything. They bring the mentality, speed, and strength to compete at every level needed to succeed. If you are interested in joining the team, show up to Macken Park after school on March 1^st, or contact Head Coach Bubba Dotson for more information. .
