Southern ready for baseball practice

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern baseball team doesn’t start practice until Friday, but already the Jaguars are ahead of where they were at this time last year.

Coach Roger Cador and his staff have a clearer idea of who will fill the most prominent roles. Most of the roles were determined during preseason last season.

Though positions can still be won and lost, Cador has a pretty good idea where things are headed. Most importantly, he hopes Southern is headed in the right direction after an uncharacteristic record of 10-26 last season, failing to qualify for the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament.

“I feel good about the group because the kids feel good about the group themselves,” Cador said Wednesday.

He said he got a good feeling when he informed 11 seniors that they had the opportunity to transfer to another school and become eligible immediately because of Southern’s ongoing ban from NCAA post-season play.
