The short high school baseball season is about to get underway, with the Dauphin Clippers aiming for a berth at provincials.

The team began practicing in mid-March and will likely field a roser of 16 players.

Mark Graham will coach the team this year. He said it is a unique opportunity since he hasn’t coached in a while and hasn’t seen any of the players in action.

“So seeing what I’ve seen in the gym so far, we’ve got a fairly young group and a lot of them have played ball at a fairly competitive level. So the young guys have been pretty impressive,” he said. “Mix in a couple of the older guys and it’s a decent crop. But until we get outside, it’s pretty hard to tell too much of what’s going on.”

The Clippers are back in the Prairie West High School Baseball League and will play six games against teams in the North Division.
