In my September 2006 installment of the Cop Corner I wrote about rising stars in the law enforcement softball circuit. I titled the article, ''Young Guns'' and provided some profiles on some youngsters who were in a position to usher in the next wave of elite players in our game. Now, approximately four years later I am going to revisit that concept by introducing you to some new up-n-comers and give you a snapshot of what has become of our first crop of ''Young Guns.''

The 5th Policesoftball.com/Easton World Series was once again held at the Big League Dreams facility in Cathedral City, Ca. The event capped an outstanding year of law enforcement softball where many different teams shared the spotlight at any given time. Although there were over 50 teams from all across the county competing, New York Metro, Jacksonville PSC, Minnesota Lawmen and the Michigan Lawmen seemed to be the consensus favorites for the East while the reigning two-time defending champions the SoCal Alliance, along with former champs Cal-Quake and the red-hot HardCor teams were clear-cut favorites in the West.
