Jordan Formosa has overseen a remarkable rise at the Redlegs in his tenure, but 2025 could prove to be the biggest season yet for ‘Baz’ and his boys.
From no wins in 2022 to seven in 2023, Longwood stagnated slightly last season to finish with a 6-10 record, but there are high hopes for where they could land at the end of this year.
Glimpses of potential reared its head at times throughout last season, coming within two points of a huge upset against preliminary finalist Lancaster in a scrappy, low-scoring affair, and if the Redlegs can replicate that sort of effort on a more consistent basis, finals could be on the cards.
Plenty of recruiting has been done in the off season, and with many of last year’s crop going around again, the gulf between Longwood’s best and worst should shrink considerably.
