When Covid destroyed the 2020 High School Season and big brother wanted all sports shut down @cquez10 @42ricksuarez24 and I said - hell no - we are playing and we created a 5 team summer league. Look at the 2023 early round draft picks that played in our league

Jake Cunningham
@coreyavant16
@kuehlercade
Philip Abner ( I believe he played a couple of times coming off injury)

There will be more that could be drafted next year

We did a good thing that summer
