Head coach: Jeff Weible
2017 record: 21-5
Top returning players: P/1B Ryan Hecker, Sr.; C/P Kyle Green, Jr.; P/OF Jordin Robbins, Sr.; P/OF Peter Klos, Sr.; P/SS Isaac Richardson, Jr.
Key newcomers: P/IF Logan Chmielewski, So.; 2B Max Larsen, Jr.; P/IF Ryland Schmdit, Jr.; OF Josh Fisher, So.; P/1B Zach Meek, Jr.; P/SS Kaden Storm, Fr.; OF Nick Alexander, So.; C/P/DH Tucker Gowin, So.; P/IF Chris Schucart, So.
Outlook: The Vikings finished fourth at the 2A state tournament last year after capturing league, district and regional championships. North Kitsap is younger this year, but still very talented with a true ace at the top of the rotation in Hecker, the reigning Olympic League Most Valuable Player. The goal will be a league championship and a good playoff run, as always, and although they are less experienced — and should face plenty of good competition from Port Angeles, Kingston, Olympic and Sequim — they should be able to develop into a contender.
