Congratulations to the 2006 Elmhurst Senior League 15-16 Allstar Team for winning the District 10 Allstar Tournament and placing second in the State Allstar Tournament! While many teams at this level consist of players from one high school this team had representation from five different high schools: Wayne, Bishop Luers, Elmhurst, Homestead, and South Side.

Even more unusual, most of these players have played together through the Elmhurst Little League program since they were eight years old.

Team sponsorship was provided by Bruce Griffin Legacy Heating & Air.

The team consisted of: Andy Berghoff, Ryan Fuller, Brandon Kelley, Wes Springer, Nathan Lee, Joe Crouch, Matt McClellan, Ryan Green, Ryan Smith, Justin Biggs, Tim Elser, and John Kelty. The team was managed by Brent Fuller with the assistance of Jim Berghoff and Randy Crouch.
