Legion baseball: Meeting the new coaches

Posted May 27, 2020 4:27 PM

There's a new sheriff in town for North Platte FNBO Nationals and its local teacher Andy Butler. 

Had a chance to chat with Butler, that interview is below: 

The Nationals also have a new assistant coach, NPHS Alumni Kade Wroot. 

Wroot graduated NPHS in 2018. While he was here in North Platte he played five years in the NP Legion program. Wroot is currently an outfielder for McCook Community College and in his second year. Wroot plans to go back for another year at McCook Community College (his eligibility was reset thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak). After his stint at community college is over he hopes to move on and play two more years of baseball at a four year university. 

We hope to catch Wroot for an interview soon. 

Legion Baseball tryouts are June 1st and 2nd. The season starts on June 18th.
