Lions eye return to state tourney in 2002 baseball
Lawrence High, led by coach David Petry, aims for a third straight state appearance as 14 return from last year’s 16-9 squad. The Lions open Thursday at Olathe North with 18 players, including 11 seniors, and feature a deep pitching staff led by juniors Ryan Rowland and Taylor Martin. The team adjusts to a 20 game schedule across 17 dates, seeking consistency and late-season success after a 3- semifinal finish to Derby last year.
