What a magical run it was a year ago for the Lions, who went all the way to the State Championship series. Ty Peeples (OF) is now off to UGA and was drafted in the 20th Round of the MLB Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. However, the cupboard is far from bare, as the Lions have all but one pitcher back in the fold, and will look to create more magic this spring.
