Coach Walters, Northwestern Trojans to travel to The Jimmy for the 2019 SBC

Coach Mitch Walters will be bringing his young Northwestern Trojans to Hartsville for the 2019 Southeastern Baseball Classic.  Coming off of a 25-4 2018 season that saw his team run the table in Region play, Coach Walters 2019 team lacked experience heading into the season.  With the state playoffs beginning only one week after the SBC, lack of experience will no longer be a crutch the veteran coach allows his team to use.

That said, it's hard to deny the youth movement in Rock Hill.  An 8th grader and a 9th grader are in the team's starting nine and five underclassman are seeing regular playing time. Of the team's seven seniors, three are POs (pitchers only).  At the time of this post, the Trojans were 7-8 overall and 4-6 in region play.

Regardless of experience; regardless of overall record; any Northwestern team that steps foot on the field under the tutelage of Coach Walters will know the game and be prepared to play.  Georgia Premier (with its 18 seniors), Hartsville, Queen's Grant and Robert E. Lee Academy better be ready for the young Trojans.

Northwestern has 4 games at The Jimmy during the 2019 SBC:

Tuesday, April 16 vs. Hartsville High School at 3:45pm
Wednesday, April 17 vs. Queen's Grant at 1pm
Thursday, April 18 vs. Georgia Premier at 4pm
Friday, April 19 vs. Robert E. Lee Academy at 11am
