Is there even another legion post in Fargo? On top of that it would take ALOT more money to fund another Class A team incomparison to this 17 year old team. I would guess they will not be traveling to places like Omaha and the Gopher classic and making extended stay trips out west. Those expenses would be necessary for a second Class A team. It makes sense that they dont want to lose players though that could contribute the following year. They would have control over there development as players. Much more structured then senior babe.

THAT IS NOT CORRECT. SIOUX FALLS POST 15 SPONSORS TWO TEAMS, SIOUX FALLS EAST AND SIOUX FALLS WEST.
yeah, i know there are a dozen of cities in minnesota that have multiple teams and only one legion. st. cloud has three teams (silver stars, chutes, 76ers).

Riotmaker#9 wrote:The reason for the B team is because the varsity Post 2 team has lots of young players who are coming back from college to play again on the team. This years Bombers team had lots of player that were too old to play Bombers again. most of these players are very talented and they don't want to lose those players.

Willy wrote:Yes Post 2 has a lot of tradition, but the time has come to create another A Team, for fairnes to smaller class A cities but more importantly to the kids in Fargo who don't get a chance to compete at the top level. Fargo, you should be proud you are growing, but along with growing comes growing pains. Isn't Fargo considering a 3rd public high school? Should those plans be canceled so North and South High Schools can have stronger athletic teams?
With two "A" teams, Post 2 tradition would stay alive, with twice as many players sharing in that tradition.

The seventeen year old team actually does have something to do with those 3-4 players coming back. With those 3-4 players you lose 3-4 more spots on the Post 2 team and most of the people you lose in fargo were contributors to the varsity programs of their respected school. So they have talent they just do not have enough spots to go around

Yes, but you have to understand what the Post 2 tradition really is. It isn't just being competitive in North Dakota baseball, it's dominating North Dakota baseball. Post 2 baseball isn't about making everyone feel good, it's about assembling the best baseball team possible that will be competitive at a REGIONAL tournament. There is never an acceptable excuse in Fargo when Post 2 doesn't win the state championship. The fact that they have won only 1 state title in the last 10-15 years is unacceptable.
If you can't make it in Fargo, go play in Moorhead.
