Baseball
"We focus on the idea of FAMILY. Everything we do, we do as a TEAM and work off of one another. We make each other better every day, whether it's in the classroom, in a meeting, practice, or a game. Doing the small things right on a daily basis drives our success. We respect the game of baseball and make sure we pay special attention to our Faith, Academics and Family!"
Tony DeCarlo, Marian Catholic Baseball Head Coach
