Cougars baseball team loads up on experience




DICKSON – The Dickson County baseball team will face some tough opponents this season, playing in one of the best overall AAA conferences in the state.

The Cougars will have some strong spots on the roster though as they return eight seniors from last year’s team that will help with experience.

“We have to be able to put the ball in play,” Dickson County coach Rodney Parker said. “It’s like we face an SEC signee each night. Our team defense along with our ability to throw strikes and experience are our strengths. We return eight seniors (nine overall) who have been through the 11-AAA wars the past four seasons.”

The Cougars, like a lot of other teams in the region, have had to deal with horrible weather conditions through the beginning of the season but Parker said his players have worked hard so far and he is ready to get the season underway.

“I love my squad,” Parker said. “They have been committed to working hard in the offseason and have handled a tough weather preseason. I’m excited for the start of the eight-week race known as high school baseball.”
