DW come on, can anyone get on here now?? He’s on an E team out of Illinois.
Gosoftball shows 2 ‘C’ teams but yes if you want to play conference and put your name out there you can do a free agent page.
Also in Illinois there is no more ‘C’.
🙂

Wait…. zerkle Is good? I think you ment to say he is fast
