Lewis Clark State Question

foulball19Member

I have read what I can find from previous posts on LC State but would like some input from those that know more about the program and school.

My son is at a pretty good Calif JC that has gotten attention from LC State about playing there next year. What is the difference in level of play? What is LC State on par with; lower D1, Upper D2, Upper D3? Has gotten attention from other schools but we don't know much about NAIA. Any good or bad about the campus or surrounding area? Where do we want to fly into to go there? Any information would be appreciated!

As gets stated on this site from time to time, there is some highly competitive baseball being played in the NAIA. And LWSC is topflight NAIA. You might be able to find out a little more about their present status and regional rankings at baseballnorthwest.com.

open their web site. Ed Cheff the Head Coach has been a friend for 25 years. His son played with my son Robert at UH.

You will learn the game of baseball from this program and its coaches. What JC are you playing for?

This is located in the Spokane area in Lewiston, Idaho.

This season they've beaten strong D3 competition pretty consistently and beaten DII teams from the Great Northwest Conference fairly consistently. I don't know how good that DII conference is. They play Seattle University a new D1 and Gonzaga a solid D1 at the end of their season.

My son played at LCSC last year. The warriors beat Gonzaga, at the time in the top 25 and the Univ. of Washington. LCSC, as well as several NAIA top reated programs could have a winning season playing a D1 schedule. The big difference between the D1's and LCSC is pitching depth. The competition in the Northwest may not be as strong as say the Southern Calif NAIA schools, but there are several competitive programs. I think if you ask my son his regret is that he did not go to LCSC out of JC. If you have any specific questions PM me.

If I am not mistaken, I believe there was a run there where the SF Giants drafted one or two players from the program every year with a few making it to the bigs. Not sure if there was a special connection or just familiarity with the program.

GrabSomePine,
That was bbscout.
Doug was the Giant's scout, and a Nationals Scout during his last years in baseball, who frequented and added soooooo much to this board.
Doug commented more than a few times about the quality of play and players at Lewis Clark. It was one of the teams he made it a point to see early in every college season.

Infielddad,

bbscout pre-dated my time on this board, although his reputation and knowledge are well-remembered and continue to be shared here. Thanks for sharing another example of his work in baseball.

Just my humble, but L-C State can compete with the best in DI. You won't find a better coach than Ed Cheff. If my kid had their interest, I wouldn't hesitate to send him.
