Coach’s Comment: The Generals hope to be contenders again in 2019 and return 11 varsity players, including four pitchers. Pitching will be John Stark’s strength, but the Generals should also have a good lineup with solid defense. There’s a lot of parity in Division II this season. Kennett and Hollis-Brookline have a lot of talent returning, as does Plymouth and Hanover. Oyster River has some really good pitching as well. Souhegan and Bow will have some big bats and STA is always tough. The rest of the division is really good as well.
