Rec leagues don't exist anymore, travel ball replaced them. Remember how top notch the baseball leagues were at one time in Richmond County? All-Star teams winning state and regional tournaments every year. Those leagues have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Football and basketball have followed that same model so less kids are exposed or getting the chance to play as was the case when Rec was the only way to play. A lot cheaper and easier to pay that Rec one time registration fee and play games in the county as opposed to tournament fees and the travel involved on the weekends. So I agree Raiderstud, the feeder system in Richmond county has taken a dump over the last decade or so and we are now starting to see the results. Richmond County baseball at one time was every bit as dominant as the football team and yet here we are.
