Timberwolves baseball fans have been looking out the window waiting for spring ever since last season’s team finished as one of four state finalists in Peoria. Now the sun is out, the grass is kind of green and it’s time for another season of Timberwolves baseball!

Returning head coach Andrew Hagerman has produced back to back conference championships including a 20 plus game winning streak during last year’s Cinderella run.

This year Hagerman sees a group of seniors who know what they are playing for. “All of our seniors have displayed leadership in practice. They’ve been a part of something special here and want to keep a good thing going. Really, everyone returning from last year has come in ready to compete and help others.”

Okaw Valley’s home opener versus Central A&M scheduled for March 14 was cancelled due to conditions. The Timberwolves will instead start with three consecutive road games 3/16 at Mt Pulaski, 3/18 at Stew-Stras Windsor (at Stew-Stras High School) and 3/22 in Ramsey. The first game back at home will be March 23 and the de facto opener versus Brownstown/St. Elmo.       Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
