2A independent baseball

Wallace Miners

2005 record: 7-11

Coach: Bob Schreiber

Years coaching: 17th

Returning lettermen, starters: 8, 8

Key players: Jesse James, senior, right-handed pitcher/first baseman; Justin Keener, sr., shortstop; Joe Ploharz, sr., catcher.

Coach’s comments: “We could put nine athletes out on the field. Whether we get them in the right place right away I don’t know.”

Outlook: Schreiber has something he hasn’t had in recent years – quite a bit of athleticism and depth. He expects his Miners to challenge for one of three state berths.
