VIKINGS
WELCOME
TO THE 2020 VIKINGS BASEBALL SEASON
We would like to welcome each and every one of you to Miamisburg Viking Country. We are very proud of our academic and athletic traditions. The Viking tradition of excellence associated with our athletic programs is due, in part, to the successful heritage that has been established since our first graduating class of 1873. Our staff, coaches and studentathletes work extremely hard to represent our community and school district with class and sportsmanship. I encourage each of you to attend our events and take a positive part in the Viking experience. I would like to commend our coaches and student athletes on the hard work they have put forth to prepare for the upcoming season. I would also like to thank the Miamisburg community for their class and support of our school system. Go Vikings! Stay connected and receive athletic and school updates through twitter at @MburgVikings.

HEAD COACH A MESSAGE FROM THE
Welcome to the 2020 Vikings baseball season!! Since September, our players have worked hard to improve their speed, strength and baseball skills. Players have stepped up to every challenge the coaching staff has placed in front of them, and we all look forward to great success on the field. We have a tremendous group of hard-working young men who have risen their expectations of excellence and continue to push themselves and each other on a daily basis. There will be many new faces in 2020, but we have a very talented and deep roster. Our newcomers are expected to make a great impact and build off last season’s success. We have a tough non-league schedule and a brutal GWOC schedule that should bring exciting games all season. The entire baseball program appreciates the tremendous support we receive from the parents, administration, community members, and sponsors. Thanks to you, we are able to continually improve our facilities and equipment to provide a great experience for our young men. Thank you for being a part of today’s game and the lasting memories that are created at Toadvine Field! We hope to honor the proud tradition of Miamisburg Baseball.
GO VIKINGS!
