Time to show some love to the former Section II and III high school athletes who are now hooping at the Division III level. Gotta love it whenever we take it to the next level!

I may have missed something. I did this by old-fashioned detective work... looking at rosters to see who teams had, then matching up box scores. Took me 3 hours in a busy Division III night. I have no life. If I did miss someone that at least got in the game that once graced a Section II or III jersey, let me know so I can add them to the watch list. Good luck to all of you! Keep working hard!
