By theribbe on December 20, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

Larry Ferguson was drafted in the 14th Round by the Texas Rangers after his sophomore year at State.  State was a powerhouse in the Appalachian Conference and Larry pitched well enough to get some regional and spotty national attention.  Many in Westfield applauded his accomplishments on the mound […]
