Valparaiso, IN - The Victory Christian Academy Lions baseball team expect that experience and greater depth will allow them to improve upon their inaugural 3-13 mark from last year. The Lions open their 23 game schedule on March 29th at Covenant Christian High School in Demotte, IN. Highlights on the Lions' schedule include conference games against Portage Christian (Portage, IN) and Granger Christian (Granger, IN) plus dates against Bowman Academy (Gary, IN), Kouts High School (Kouts, IN), LaLumier (LaPorte, IN) and East Chicago Central at historic Block Stadium.
The big event will be a clash with Hammond Academy in the last game of the 2011 Gary Southshore Railcats High School Challenge. The Lions will play at the US Steel Yard, home of the Railcats, on May 10 at 6:00 PM.
