[dropcap]#5[/dropcap]Pope John Paul II

Coach: Josh Hartline, first season.

Last year’s record: 8-10 PAC-10, 9-12 overall.

Players to watch: Luke DeLeo, Sr., SS; Billy Hitman, Sr., C; Rich McGarry, Sr., P/3B; Andrew John, Jr., P; Christian Wagner, Jr., OF; Ryan Schwab, So., P/OF.

Outlook: Hartline takes over the Golden Panther program from Matt Eckman, becoming PJP’s third head coach in as many years. He had previously served as assistant to Owen J. Roberts head coach Greg Gilbert for five seasons, and coached in the Boyertown area since the 1990s. … “My outlook for the upcoming season is to make the PAC-10 Final Four,” Hartline said. “I believe this goal is attainable through pitching, defense and small-ball.”
