A writer who has authored a best selling book is the newest face leading the editorial team at the Dodge County Independent.

For the Triton track team, their status toward the bottom of the HVL has been more of a numbers game. Their roster, which consists of 60 athletes, is roughly half of some of the other schools in the conference. That doesn’t mean that the Cobras lack talent as they head into the 2016 season.

When the Triton baseball team takes the field to open the 2016 season, the one thing that they won’t have is experience. The Cobras return just one starter from a season ago and will likely have an uphill climb in the strong HVL conference.
However, for what the Cobras lack in experience, they make up for with a youthful energy that could have them wreak havoc for teams competing for a conference title.
