Has anyone seen these teams play? Cleveland County is a little shocking to me.

Cleveland County is playing like a Mike Grayson coached team. Solid defense and timely hitting. Back to back DH and 4 complete games from their starters. 3rd straight DH today vs Maiden so will be interesting to see how the line up the pitching.

Good to hear. I'm hoping the new Crest coach will start letting their players play legion more, seeing as he played himself.

Crest is supplying the most players for them this year. I think 10 of the 19 guys are from Crest. Agree about Adam and him being a part of Post 82. Crazy thing is there are more kids from Burns and KM playing for Cherryville than for Cleveland County. I think our area needs that close working relationship between high school and legion.

The best players from Crest have not played in the past. That's really what I was eluding to. Burns is always split depending on where the kids live. I went to Burns but played for Shelby. I know Adam well and wish him luck.
