While high school teams are rounding into mid-season form hundreds of grade-school athletes who dream of competing at the higher levels are also honing their skills.
It’s been a great season for Benton’s Future Rangers program with more than 70 players competing on eight different teams. On Thursday night the championship game was held with Shuttersnap Photo Illini picking up an exciting 13-5 victory over Melvin’s Collision Wildcats in the 1st/2nd Grade tournament.
The 3rd/4th grade tournament starts Monday, Jan. 21 and there are nine teams and over 70 kids in the league.
Travis Severin is the director/coordinator for the program.
