Summary:
What a wonderful season this has been for the Mt. Juliet Golden Bears Baseball team. Led by the ace pitching of Josh Cotham and the leadership of the seniors, the Golden Bears complied a record of 31-9 and were ranked fourth in the state as this year's spring fling comes to an end. The Golden Bears were 9AAA Tournamnet Champions, Region 5AAA Runner-Up and made it to the state tournament.
