“We have an experienced and talented team returning,” said LHS head coach Matt Luze. “If we practice with urgency from the first day of camp and continue it throughout the season I think we will have a great year.”
Coach Luze is in his third year as head coach of the Orioles, compiling a 7-12 record while here. Last season the Orioles went 4-4 during the regular season and 1-1 in playoff action. Assisting Luze will be Dan DeVries, Casey Vietor, Blake Crosby, Mike Smit, and Dustin McLouth.
