Heres our Travel Team vs Legion story.

Son played Legion two years ago (end of Soph yr), team went to North East regionals (lost in Championship game). We saw a few scouts at states and regionals, mostly from North East, he got the usual questionaires etc.

Last summer played on travel team that went to East Cobb and the exposure to college and pro scouts was unbelievable. End of story, ended up signing NLI to Maryland last month. He never would have got this opportunity with Legion ball unless got to nationals which is hard to do.

When I played Legion in 1969 and 70 it was the best BB in the NE, we played close to 50 games. Now they play half that amount because, I am told, Legion schedule is cut down due to sourthern states who start school earlier and football comes into play.

If you have son who can play and wants the greatest exposure, at least in NE, its travel ball if they go to major events.

One guys opinion.
