A huge shout out should go also to Justin McCoy. I believe his partnership with the Izzo's was much of the impetus for the reopening of La Salle. Not sure this all would have happened without the involvement of Justin and his wife. Just for the record, Justin hails from Streator, IL and is the great nephew of midget standout, the late Bob Tattersall, who was also from Streator.
To get this thread somewhat on topic, there is hope that La Salle could become a regular yearly venue for BMARA and/or MARA. It's strategically located for Badger and it's a safe bet that the Badger/MARA midgets would put on an exemplary show at La Salle. Let's hope it happens with some success in the future.
