yes, Ripley lost a couple key players. ( Wade Vandergriff and Khyyan Norfork and Allan Hargett). This year, I believe they have 3 seniors and 9 or 10 Juniors. I think they're starting 2 Seniors, 4 Juniors and 2 Sophomores. I think the other Senior may just pitch. I think it depends on if he is healthy enough to play other positions. I know he had surgery this past year on his leg so hopefully he will be ready to go. I know they will have to play hard every game and do all they can to score runs. Last year they depended on Khyyan and Wade to carry them. This year they are looking for someone to step in to that role. They scrimmaged Halls yesterday and won 6-0, but Ripley's hitting didn't look good. Pitching and Defense was solid, but hitting needs much work.
