Squad finished first season together at #18 nationally
The team was recognized for its outstanding effort in 2011. We're proud of all on and off field accomplishments, and the player development across the board. The team fluctuated between #16 and #18 against the toughest competition in the nation, and played the toughest schedule in the State. The team also played a small schedule of games for developmental play and for local competition. The team defeated nearly every State ranked team, a couple more than once. The team set an organization 43-game win streak that was amazing, and included a tough multi-State schedule during the streal. Congratulations on a wonderful season!

Tough cuts made for 2012 bring talent to team
Competitive travel baseball oftens means tough decisions, and inevitable change. We're pleased players no longer with the team have easily made rosters elsewhere. Great job to them and it is a solid testomonial for our program. The Prospects' picked up sought after players to add strength for most major positions including catching, pitching, middle infield and outfield play. The team made talent pick-ups offensively and with baserunning. Congratulations to the 2012 roster, very well earned!

Over the years, our elite off-field character and leadership philosophy provides DVD's for all players to keep after their life-lesson reports.
We have distributed 325 DVD's, 13 lessons including:

 Ben Franklin | 1954 Giants | Cavemen | 10,000 BC | Dear Home | Dinosaurs | Nebraska | Ohio State | Globetrotters | Amazon | Last Stand | Honor & Glory | Babe Ruth

has fun, and wants to learn more. In turn, the athlete is back to learning and understanding.
Coach Korbel believes this to be one of the most significant diagrams he has seen, for any age level.
