Bigger And Better Things To Come
Ottawa Legion coach Pete Cearfoss reflects on a 17-11 season as district third place and seeks continued improvement. The team returns 12 of 17 players with strong pitching led by Sheldon Wadkins and Shisler, and plans two 18 player Legion squads next summer aided by Babe Ruth league influx. Cearfoss cites good sponsorship and parental support as key to future success and notes the hard luck of close tournament losses and missed state berth.
