PRESCOTT – Waitsburg-Prescott baseball Coach Dustin Snedigar knows that if his team is successful in its league, he'll have one of the best teams in the state.

On top of that, the coach said that Tri-Cities Prep is much improved this year, with a left-handed pitcher that's very tough. "I think we'll be right in there," he said. With the c...
