Your stats are OK if you are playing in a competitive high school league. Your ERA, though it went up, is less important than you may think. The college scouts will obviously look at your stats; but they also want to see your composure when things do not go as well as a teenager would hope for.
If you want to go to Notre Dame, or any other college for that matter, I wish you the best. But please remember to use "spell check" when you prepare your college applications. The correct spelling is "junior" and "senior" without the added "u".

If Notre Dame hasn't contacted you yet, then your chances are just about nil.
Your won-lost records don't mean anything. Your freshman and junior year ERAs are too high for Division I consideration. Even if you strike everybody out, that's not necessarily a good indication of how you would do in Division I, either. Division I coaches want to know how good your competition was.

Take a look at any video you might have of all three previous seasons. Look for any types of changes. Study your delivery in each season. I wouldn't be too concerned about your junior year. A lot has to do with the competition. You might have pitched against tougher teams last season.
You should be okay. Just keep working hard.

Yeah, of course you still have a shot! Just try to relax, your nerves may be your worst enemy this year. Take one game, one inning, one batter at a time and don't think about college while you're on the mound. Try to remember what gave you all the sucess in your sophomore year. i bet it was the fact that you were not thinking about college yet!
Just work on mechanics, take care of your arm, and listen to the coaches. Also, try to build up your lower body strengh. Pitchers can overlook this, but the best guys out there are not the ones w/ pipes, they are the guys w/ barrell butts and stove pipe legs like Roger Clemens! good luck!

Work on your cardio and leg strength. Try to get into a routine where you pitch every 4-5 days and do some long toss in between. Focus on getting your mechanics solid and your velocity up. Scouts will figure they can teach you a breaking pitch if you can throw with good speed and your mechanics are good.

By those stats, your sophomore season was spectacular...find whatever you used to get the pitch control you had as a sophomore and use it as a senior...
