Young Philo Electrics Team Looks to Improve on 2023 Season

Duncan Falls, OH- Now that the snow has finally cleared and the cold is on its way out, lets head to the baseball diamond to look at the Philo Electrics, just underway for their 2024 baseball campaign. WHIZ’s Grant Moore caught up with the team.

This marks an exciting time in the sports world, no not in basketball, but baseball. Philo’s Head Coach Hunter Smith is optimistic for the 2024 season. The Electrics will have a young team headed onto the diamond this season. Coach Smith it teaching his club about the details in varsity baseball.

“Just working on the details, you know, we’re going to have a lot of new guys working on the work ethic, trying to learn about how a varsity team works,” said Philo Head Coach Hunter Smith. “I’ve only got three guys coming back rom last year and we’re trying to get back in that routine of working on the little things, and making the routine plays, putting the ball in play.”

One of the players not returning is Talon Preston. Preston has decided to focus on football. Coach Smith is looking for his next man up.

“Losing a guy like that is big, you know, I wish him the best. I love the kid, but we have to move on, it’s a team game for a reason, and we’ve got, plenty of guys to step into that role.”

It will certainly be a very exciting season for the young Electrics as they look to improve on an 11 and 13 record from last year.
