Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4667235, member: 71"] Make no mistake about this; the job Penders has done has been tremendous. The northeast (in large part due to the climate and shorter seasons as a result of this) produces less top level talent when compared to the south, parts of the midwest, southwest and west coast and quite often the lure of playing at a big name school in a better climate is at times enough to get a top prospect to leave the area for college. Add to this the facilities, which prior to this season had been woefully inadequate, it is a testament to the leadership on our coaching staff that we've been as consistently solid as we have been for the past decade and a half. One thing that still sticks in my craw is the misfortune that we suffered with our draw in 2011. Facing the defending champion on their way to winning two in a row was the only thing that could have kept that team from breaking through to the CWS. [/QUOTE]
