Legion Baseball

DownSouth, I think everyone is speaking in general terms. There will be exceptions to every point such as Post 29 but in order for Legion to continue to be successful or to return to where it was a few years ago, they must be successful on a widespread basis across the state not just in a few posts. If 25% of the Legion teams in NC remain strong but the other 75% turn into little more than high school level teams, it won't be long before the strongs begin to feel it. Competition has always been one of Legions' strongest traits and it takes more than a few good teams.

 

Caldwell County draws from 3 high school ( south caldwell, hibriten, and west caldwell.) This past year they had two kids from Alexander but word has it that Alexander will be having a Legion team this year. Caldwell County has enough talented baseball players to make up more than two teams. If they keep Sophmores on the "A" team, concider it a privilage and an honor to play. Caldwel plays the best and the ones who get the job done between the lines and that is why they are so successful. Their "B" team follows right in behind the "A" doing what is expected "working to be the best." There should be no argument to who is on a legion team if they have a kids that work each and everyday to be the best, they deserve to play!
