[Coach B. @CoachBroadhurst]

Looking forward to seeing our 2027 @WowFactor_IL Scout Team compete this weekend at the @PrepBaseballIN Grand Park Summer Championships.

Three uncommitted 2027s will get the ball:

Game 1 – @MichaelMorse21 (Newman)
Game 2 – @BlakeDavis_6 (Central Lee)
Game 3 – @hunterl15678501 (Limestone)

Already had several college coaches reach out for our roster and schedule.

This roster is loaded with talent, and I truly believe there are players on this team who can help college programs at every level. If you’re going to be at Grand Park and would like more info, shoot me a DM.

[Wow Factor Illinois Select @WowFactor_IL]

Congratulations to 2027 Wow Factor Illinois Scout player @VanhoutenKash (Canton) on being named MVP of the Greater Peoria Coaches Association All-Star Game.

Kash put together an impressive performance, driving in four runs to lead the West to an 11-5 victory over the East.
