Gramps, Congrats to the Berg players for their Gold Glove honors. I'm disappointed that not one player from Heidelberg, Marietta or Wooster got a look in the draft. Take a look at some of the numbers of the players who were drafted compared to kids from the above mentioned schools. The WIAC had at least five players go but the vast majority were from the West and the South. Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't the ME regional had 1 national runner-up, the 3rd place finisher and the National Champions in the last 3 years?  Why the apparent lack of respect for the Mideast players??? |

macdade,
I think that part of the problem is due to the lack of coverage of D3 players by the local media. I know that in our area, the Plain Dealer did not report one individual accomplishment. If the scouts are unaware of the talent in this area, they will not come. Beyond that, it is a mystery to me what the scouts are looking for in talent. I am told that they look for a certain physical profile and if you don't fit that profile, your stats are simply ignored.
Thanks for the heads up on the Berg players. I hope that you and your son are doing well.
