Duneland Conference Preview By Brandon Vickery, Pow Wow Radio

When it comes to evaluating the baseball talent level in the Duneland Athletic Conference, the Indi- ana High School Baseball Coaches’ Association preseason poll says it all. Four of the top 16 teams in 4A in the state of Indiana are members of the DAC. Lake Central enters the season as the conference favorite and number one team in the state, following by Crown Point (eighth), Chesterton (thirteenth), La- Porte (fifteenth) and Portage (sixteenth).

Valparaiso Vikings

The graduation loss of Jerrick Suiter, who is now at TCU, will hurt Dave Coyle’s squad. Outfielders John Ole- jniczak and Greg Thome are expected to take over more prominent roles in the lineup. Life without Suiter could be a grind for the Vikes, who fell 15-7 in the sectional semifi- nal against Portage to conclude the year with a 13-11 mark. Valpo will likely finish in the middle of the pack and hover around the .500 mark again this year.
