WMA Interview: West Ottawa pitcher Troy Stango

Particularly considering their 8-3 record, it’s tough to believe that West Ottawa is still flying under most people’s radar.  But they are, at least for now.  Perhaps because of average preseason expectations, the Panthers’ success is still somewhat surprising.

Rockford shows why they're the Rams, and you're not

Conventional wisdom said that Rockford would beat Grand Haven in Friday night’s battle between the number-1 and number-6 teams in Division-1.  Although both teams were undefeated at 4-0, Rockford had historically owned the Buccaneers, having won their past eight matchups, including most recently a 51-0 drubbing in 2008.  The Rams [...]
