Best baseball played in Southwest suburbs/Joliet area

Nobody!!! and I mean NOBODY, has been a baseball force year after year Like OAK PARK RIVER FOREST !!!! Check the record's for the last 20 year's heck 40 year's and Oak Park has a better record than anyone.!!!! Their feeder program is second to none with their Bronco and PONY leagues. Its so good not many 12-14yr old's,even play travel ball cause the in house is so good! And we are kicking butt again this year ,but what else is new. Also we have had the best coach's, Jack Kaiser, MR Gray, Chris Ledbetter, Sean Lawernce, Jim DOnovan, Scott Nelson. And many more.

joliet area consists of teams like lockport, joliet catholic, minooka, both lincoln way schools, joliet township and all the plainfield schools now its pretty hard to find that level of competition in that short of an area where its only a ten min drive from one place to another

THis topic is great for me b/c I started my teaching/coaching career at JT and have been at OPRF for 6 years. In my opinion, Huskie Power and styles are both right. OPRF pony and Bronco help the OPRF system reload year after year after year. Style is right in his case that there are 15 great HS programs within 10 miles of eachother and those schools are a lot easier to get to than huskieland. From Stagg to Minooka, you can see 5 great games a week all spring long.

In the west, oak park
L.t
Hindale Central
Glenbard West
Benet
Naz
Naperville Central
lincoln way give me a break plainfield give me a break, Glenbard East is better than those team's Never seen J.T.ever beat Oak Park

Not a whole lot of difference imo.

When 1 of these Joliet area program's starts to produce D1 scholarships like OPRF does, then we might break the tie. Until then the history (50 years)of OPRF baseball by itself gives the western suburbs a slight edge.

Joliet area by far...way too consistent compared to other areas, and from experience, it gives one a little edge when he pursues a collegiate baseball career. Just thinking of the talent my class had and the class after me gives me chills...Perinar, Petrulis, Christensen, Graffy, Stalowy, Trader, K. Williams, Hollingsworth...and i could go on...

not to mention brandon sing who never went to college but was drafted and has been turning some heads in the minor leagues..... oh yea i forgot about joe benson who will be a great ATHLETE wherever he ends up..... and wells is right consistently the joliet area has d 1 players ever year... not saying that oak park doesnt but dont doubt us on our quality of players
