Peyton Webb could vie for time and round out the roster,” Fullerton said.
Davis Welch, Kade Smith, Levi Lang and Gavin Alvetti top a list of pitchers slated to lead the Wildcats on the mound, the coach said.
“T.J. Hester, Cooper Welch, Eli Henley and Jadyn Wilhite should also see ample mound time,” Fullerton said.
He said Koch, Pryor, Colton Smith, Tallie and Wallis could also add varsity innings.
Fullerton said his team might have the toughest nonconference schedule in the 3A Conference with Cabot; Valley View; Greenwood; Carthage, Texas; Benton, Louisiana; and Kennett, Missouri, heading the list of competitors.
“With a cold, wet preseason, it’s been hard on all the coaches in the state to get the work in that we’ve needed,” Fullerton said. “We are really fortunate to have a group of kids who want to do what’s necessary to get prepared.

“We had a good season that ended in a disappointing way last year, but we have high expectations for this season, and our guys have worked hard to reach their goals.”
Fullerton said he is really excited about what his team could become.
“Our upperclassmen have seen the opportunity to step up and lead and have done that with both their actions and attitudes,” Fullerton said. “Our coaching staff loves working with this group, and we are all excited to actually get started.”
