Burrell baseball team aims for strong season following appearance

The Burrell baseball team has started its preseason practices, adapting to March's unpredictable weather by training on the football field and in a gym. Warmer weather has allowed for more outdoor practices, enhancing player development. Last season, Burrell reached the state tournament for the first time since 2010, finishing with a 13-11 record. Despite losing seven seniors, the team retains eight key players, including pitchers Stevie Hasson and Isaac Lacinski, aiming for a strong season. Burrell will face new opponents after Valley moved to Class 4A, with their season opener against Valley scheduled for Wednesday. Coach Jay Miller is eager to see how the team performs in upcoming scrimmages and a challenging schedule.
