JeffCo has one of the best junior college programs in the state and in the midwest. The last two years under Coach Sam Carel has been very successfull and with a great recruiting class this year they should contend for a shot at the World Series this year and next year. They have some very good arms on the pitching staff with quite a few pitchers throwing in the low 90's. They definitely will be a team to watch this year.
Hey hrhitter15,
Welcome to the HSBBW! We watched the games last weekend at Jeffco. We are impressed by Coach Carel. Jeffco is a very attractive campus, and St. Louis is less than an hour away.

I know several kids that have gone to Crowder - have heard mixed feelings about it. I do think they have a decent program and a good coach. I will say it is out in the middle of nowhere. Its like going to school in a warehouse in the middle of a cow pasture - exaggeration, but you get the picture. IMO you would have to really love baseball to go there.
UA-Fort Smith is the strong JUCO in Arkansas and it is going DII. Arkansas Baptist is starting a new JUCO team here, so they probably need a little bit of everything. I don't know anything about the coaches.
Shortstopmom listed some great programs. Johnson County has a great coach, great location and good facilities. Garden City has awesome facilities. Cowley generally has a good team year in and year out. There is also Maple Woods in KC.

If you wanna go where the big boys play go to the Tennessee JUCO conference. That is good baseball with about 8 very good programs.
Texarkana is a good Juco baseball program located just off the Arkansas line.
