<p>The always large and varied field of high school age teams at the MAYB Summer Kickoff is a favorite summer event for me. Lots of club and high school teams from several states. Lots of familiar faces to see. Lots of new ones to discover. And it is a great chance to catch up with regional mostly NAIA and JUCO coaches. Working as best I can with the spartan rosters I have access to here are some verbatum notes on players I saw.</p>
