My son played legion a few years before switching to a high-profile travel team his junior and senior year of h.s. Like many have said, there is no comparison when it comes to talent.
The problem with legion is in the numbers. Each team consists of players from 3-4 schools. There is just not that much talent in 3-4 schools. Where Bum, Jr. played in h.s., a metropolis of 450,000, there were only 10-12 top-level players.
Do the math. That's one team. We had to travel.
