OK, here is what I've heard about the Irish. After losing plenty from last years District Championship team, will this years Catholic team be as strong? Don't know. Anders, Catholics ace pitcher and clean up hitter is out for the season with Tommy John surgery. That will def. hurt. They'll have returning starters Irwin and DeFilese both seniors and Broussard a junior. Also returning is Peters and Morash, both seniors, and played big roles on last years team and will do the same this year. Breaking into the starting lineup this year should be juniors Williamson,Hookman,McDermott and soph. Shirley. A couple other soph. could also see some playing time. I think Catholic is a big "Question Mark". What I do know is that they'll play hard and be as scrappy as ever. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
