- I have family in Penn Yan, so I was interested to see where they'd end up in the structure too. Surprised they didn't go in Geneva, but those other towns you have for Geneva probably work better anyways. Penn Yan's kind of in no man's land as far as close affiliations. Could have even put them with Elmira, but same thing there. The Glen and Horseheads just work better and are even closer.
- I wish you could have found a way to put Phelps in there. Most of my family grew up there!

Overall, I think this is really awesome (but you knew that already). I'll definitely be paying close attention!
Hey, Afino--

I have Canandaigua Academy in the high school feeder league. They got the Braves nickname.

I couldn't resist Weedsport Weeds. The town is actually named for a family by that name, which makes it even cooler.

I think I had Penn Yan matched up with three different teams before I got everything the way it finally ended up.

I think I can find a way to work the town of Phelps into the story somehow. Maybe the local high school can be put into the feeder league, or I can feature the town in a storyline somewhere.
