West Franklin Hopes to Develop Players Under New Coach
First year West Franklin High School baseball coach Daniel Waggoner expects to use many players this season due to pitching limits and a loss of seniors. A Falcon assistant for three years, he aims to keep innings manageable, rotate positions, and build versatility while opening the season March 24 at home against Lyndon. Senior Tate Jackson and juniors Trent Worley and Cole Alterman lead a thinner veteran group as they mentor the younger roster.
