DUBOIS — Coming off back-to-back nine win seasons (9-12, 9-13) that ended with losses to Central Mountain in the District 6/8/9 Class 5A subregional finals, the DuBois baseball team has its sights set on bigger and better things this year.
Those aspirations are aided by the fact DuBois welcomes back a wealth of talent from last season — a group who will be joined by a bunch of new varsity faces who also have the ability to make an impact.
DuBois did lose six seniors to graduation including four who saw action as starters — left fielder Jordan Ell (.373, 10 doubles, 10 RBIs, 11 runs) and infielders Gavin Kaschalk (.250, 8 RBIs, 7 runs), Billy Gray ( .250, 9 RBIs, 5 runs) and Aaron Andrulonis (.263, 3 doubles, 6 runs).
“We lost a couple key players in our lineup, especially defensively, but fortunately we recovered a lot of the talent we’ve had from the last couple years,” said Bowman.
Chief among that talent Bowman spoke of senior Kaden Clark (.283, 4 doubles, 11 RBIs, 13 runs), junior Tyler Chamberlin (.407, 24 hits, 12 RBIs, 3 doubles, 17 runs) and sophomores Noah Farrell (.436 , 24 hits, 6 doubles, 14
