Big South checks in from Kankakee, Ill.

You'll see me not only at Bandits games, but at rec league games, high school games and softball tournaments thoughout Illinois and parts of Indiana. I've also been lucky enough to do some radio sports shows so keep an ear open to hear Bandits updates throughout the season.

I've met some incredible coaches, parents and players at NSA tournaments here in the Kankakee area and want to send a shout out to a few of the teams:
~ Homewood Flossmoor Rolling Thunder
~ Minooka Magic
~ Downers Grove Outlaws
~ Munster Indiana Magic
~ Indiana Ice
~ Oak Stars
~ TNT Twisters
~ Iroquois County Crush
I've also talked with teams from Frankfort, Tinley Park, Beecher, Crete, Ottawa-LaSalle, Mokena, Orland Park, Highland Indiana, Portage Indiana, Morocco Indiana and from Tuetopolis Illinois just to name a few.
Speaking of Beecher Illinois, I'd like to pay a special tribute to the Beecher Cure. This team had dedicated themselves to play softball with the goal of raising funds and awareness to fight Breast Cancer. I have the highest respect for what the players, coaches and parents are doing and when you see these ladies be sure to say hello to them and show your support. If you would like to help them out drop me an email or call me and I will get you their information.
Dont be shy when you see me at any events come up say hi. Lets talk Bandits ball and how we can get you to share in this years excitement at Judson University. Until then....

*Editors Note: Chris Hendrickson aka Big South, got his nickname from Bandits owner Bill Sokolis at the 2009 Bandits Ball-looza Championship Ring Ceremony. He was given this nickname because he is the only Bandits representative from the mid-southern Ill. area*
