Bryan’s Takes

The Jags are having a stellar season. They have a pretty stable offense and a great 1-2 punch on the pitching staff with Lackie and Hardy. The Jaguars have a great shot to make a lot of noise in the Sun Belt Tournament coming up on May 10th. The Jags are currently in 3rd place in the Sun Belt Conference.
