Winter Workouts, College Recruiting

With the competitive Idaho Cubs Scout Team schedule in the books, Brad and Nolan are now focused on winter workouts, continued strength & conditioning, and college recruiting priorities. Their schedule includes more college visits in January, and they are also scheduled to take part in the 2015 the Idaho Cubs Prospect Camp.

A couple of highlights from the 2014 American Legion season:

Strong Finish to Scout Team Season

The Idaho Cubs Scout team traveled to Washington to play their final weekend against Walla Walla Community College. Brad and Nolan finished strong, combining for 12 hits, 8 RBI’s & 2 stolen bases for the weekend (see video clips).

Special thanks to Idaho Cubs Coaches Gary Van Tol,  Jason Krohn and Hilton Richardson, along with the college coaches who provided the players with a great experience, both on the field and on the campus tours.

ID Cubs Scout Team Games Continue

It’s been a busy time for the Idaho Cubs Scout team during September and October. After playing competitive games at Salt Lake Community College, College of Idaho in Caldwell, NNU in Nampa and Spokane Falls Community College in Washington, Brad, Nolan and the rest of the team will head to Ontario, Oregon and Walla Walla, Washington to play the final games of the season. The coaches and colleges have also done a great job of giving the players (and their parents!) a glimpse of a college athlete’s life with tours of their facilities, too.
