    Episode 47 - Moose or Meece?

    On this episode of The Rundown Tori and Mike sit down with one of the good guys in our game of club softball, Nick Reimler Head Coach of Minnesota Moose 16U National Orange. Nick and his squad of Moose (or is it Meese?) are one of the best teams in our region, and are doing a great job of growing their organization. We chat on a number of topics in this tangential, yet relevant conversations. On a non-softball related note, Tori and disagree on a the recent success of a certain professional franchise in MN that I refuse to include in this description. Can we say the bandwagon drove by and Holt jumped on board!! I can't believe it. As always, thank you for listening to The Rundown.

MN Royal fan ,

Section 5AAAA

In your last episode you forgot a team that was the runner up to Maple Grove in the Northwest Suburban Conference. They only graduated one out last year and 97% of the starters played for Tim Freeberg with the MN Royals.
Look up last years stats and record I think you will be rethinking your thoughts on 1AAAA being top section with Rogers moving to section 5AAAA. A pacesetting game is Rogers against Maple Grove opening day next Tuesday.

Thanks for your time and love the pod cast
