Indian Creek

Last season: 10-10, lost to Harvest Christian in the Class 1A Harvest Christian regional semifinals

Keep an eye on: Tyler Swanson, sr., OF/P; Cooper Larsen, sr., P/1B/OF; R.J. McCoy, sr., SS/C

Also: Zach Bogle, jr., C; Jordan Wortman, jr., Util; Brennen McNally, jr., INF/P; Kyle Bangert, jr., OF/P

Coach Kevin Poterek's comments: "I'm hoping to get back to better fundamental baseball. We were a little rough around the edges a little more than I thought we would be ... We (do) have some guys who can hit the ball well."

The lowdown: Ten players who played on the super-sectional finalist basketball team are on the Timberwolves' 19-player roster. Poterek said he is hopeful that the momentum from basketball season carries over to Indian Creek's season.
