That is a shame. I played in the South Division during the early 90's. In any given week we could have faced Tom Shearn (Briggs, Astros, Cincinnati Reds), Tronnie Keaton (Marion Franklin, not sure if he qualified, but he could huck it) and Looney from Walnut Ridge. That was a hitting slump bound to happen. I believe Independence had a lefty that could hurl it too...maybe found his way with an Indians minor league organization??? Riverbend is a great call, too. I could be mistaken, but if memory serves me correctly, those three teams (Briggs, MF and WR) had some success outside of league play on a consistent basis. The same can be said for Whetstone, Northland and Centennial. I don't follow enough to know what those programs have been able to accomplish outside of CCS. Who remembers the tournaments in Grove City and Hilsboro? Good stuff...there were some amazing prospects on the Westside.
