Leisge was good as a sophomore and had a very solid record, but he was coming off surgery and still had to gain some strength. He became one of the top four or five pitchers in the region by the end of the season and should enter this year as one of the top two.
I agree that Leisge and Hurley would be a fabulous matchup in the finals. I thought Leisge gave everything he had last year, beating Clay in the first round of keeping North under control in the finals, but I think he was out of gas when he was taken out.

Scotty Bailey caught when Boggs pitched last year and could open there this year. Brendan Rutherford was the JV catcher last year as an eighth grader and did a nice job. Whether he needs another year as a reserve will be determined in the spring, I guess. He'll be the catcher at some point.
