    Baseball American Legion World Series Bracket (Final)

    As always, great stuff Alum-ni. I remember reading an article in the World Herald a number of years ago when I believe a player or two from the Omaha McDevitts (Prep) team were still living. Curiosity got the best of me, so I found what I could on the championship team. Articles from 1939 said...

    Baseball American Legion World Series Bracket (Final)

    Yes. Good luck. It would be great to see East win it! Nebraska has one Legion WS title and that came back in 1939. Nebraska has had numerous runner-ups, including East a few years ago. That team probably would have won but lost a very close game in the finals while missing several top...

    Baseball American Legion World Series Bracket (Final)

    I went in 2019 to watch one of my nephews play for the Idaho Falls Bandits. That team had players from five different high schools. They won it that year and each year the American Legion takes the winning team to a MLB world series game. That year IF went to game 4 in D.C. to watch the...

    Baseball American Legion World Series Bracket (Final)

    Thanks. I agree. The Nebraska teams that have gone to the ALWS have historically done pretty well and that's even more impressive because the Nebraska team are usually comprised of players mostly or all from one high school. Many of the qualifiers from other states are made up of players from...

    Baseball American Legion World Series Bracket (Final)

    Alumni: Do you have a prediction on this?? I'm pretty sure Whitehouse, New Jersey is making their first appearance in the AlWS??? Brooklawn, NJ often qualifies in that region. Fairfield, California has been strong but I don't believe they have been to the series for quite awhile. Tupelo is...

    Baseball American Legion Central Plains Region Tournament Bracket (Final)

    Their first game in the ALWS will be vs. Fairfield, California (West Champion) at 1:00 P.M. on Thursday in Shelby, N.C. Not sure if that is eastern or central time.

    Fun Rivalry Trophies

    From the early 50's to the early 60's O'Neill High and Neligh played for a traveling trophy that was sponsored by the Frontier newspaper in O'Neill and the Neligh News. If one team won three years in a row they got to keep the trophy then the other newspaper had to provide a new trophy. I...

    Fun Rivalry Trophies

    I've seen an oar in the Cedar Catholic trophy case. I think Crofton and Cedar used to play for that in what I believe was called "the war for the oar." The don't play in football any more because Cedar is 11 man and Crofton in 8 man. Perhaps someone on here could provide a more detailed...

    American Legion World Series (Updated 8/17)

    Do you know if their first game actually going to be on ESPN+ or ESPN3?? Several sites say that it is but I only see games 2, 3 and 4 are listed on their broadcast schedule. Any help would be appreciated.

    American Legion World Series (Updated 8/17)

    Would be great if East could win it. They were so close two years ago. Nebraska's only LWS title came in 1939. Several runner-up finishes since then.

    Interesting Conference Alignment

    Furthermore, there are some California schools near Lake Tahoe that are part of the Nevada school activities association because of travel concerns etc.

    Interesting Conference Alignment

    Interesting. I like it. There was a conference in northern Nebraska and southern South Dakota years ago that had Butte NE, Fairfax S.D. Bonesteel S.D., etc. I think maybe Spencer and Naper as well but not positive. In legion baseball several teams from Canada play in the same league as some...
