The Piners have had a stunt in their growth process in turning things around at Lakewood High School over the past few seasons and it's been a struggle to turn things in a positive direction.
After a wild chase for the 2021 Class B South title, the contenders are reloaded for another run at that championship, as well as some postseason hardware.
Some of the talent moved around (or moved out) but there are plenty of quality players back throughout the Class B South division, most notably for a hungry Manchester squad.
How far will experience take a team in the 2021 baseball season? Class B South will be a litmus test, with Lacey leaning on it more than any other team in the field.
